About

In the vast Hirono Academy, numerous Railway Clubs and transportation organizations operate real railway lines.

The long-established Hirono Railway, the small but elite Shiraiwa Railway, the Academy City Electric Railway handling urban transport, the Nishimine Electric Railway strong in trackside development, and the Kitahama Railway where JNR-style diesel cars run—each has completely different routes, vehicles, and management policies.

Guest participates in the management of their favorite railway and, together with their partner Nanaka Asagiri, performs timetable revisions, vehicle introductions, line extensions, station improvements, and trackside development.

Beyond competition with other companies, cooperation such as connection improvements, through-services, and joint operations is also possible. Grow your own railway while considering funds, demand, equipment, and construction periods.

And behind the scenes—Horikawa Railway is also moving, quietly expanding its influence while growing on a single-track scale.
