Rail line priority

Line priority lets a service receive preference when trains compete for the same rail infrastructure.

The confirmed picture

What we know

Services begin at normal priority; the player can assign different priorities. ↗

Higher-priority trains reserve farther ahead. Lower-priority trains may wait at signals. ↗

Priority works with the path reservation system; it does not create another track or platform. ↗

From information to action

How to approach the decision

Editorial planning advice based on the confirmed systems above.

  1. Identify the service whose delay matters most.
  2. Check where its path overlaps lower-priority traffic.
  3. Use the visualizer to understand the conflict, then test the actual junction in the released build.
  4. Recheck freight delivery timing after favoring a passenger service.

A mistake to avoid

Prioritizing every service removes the distinction you were trying to create. Exact arbitration and timing remain unverified.

Verify at launch

What still needs live data

Exact numerical values, release-build menus and reproducible gameplay tests will be added only after verification.

Exact values and operating advice are added after testing against a recorded game build. Check the source date before relying on a number.
