Welcome to Midwest Freight, a SAM designed as a 1 player map. It plays in 3 Eras starting in 1920. You will see a Passenger good listed, but it is not used. It is there because it is a game requirement. You may find it advantageous to build and industry or 2. You may also want to re-purpose some industries as you progress. There are no crossovers. To cross existing track, you must switch through. I hope that you enjoy Midwest Freight.

Arizona Rails
Welcome to Arizona Rails. This map has been thoroughly tested and should run well for you. This map
runs in 3 Eras from 1945 to 2006. This map was designed as a single player map but should run well
playing with AI. This is a SAM map. There are no crossovers so to cross existing track, you must
switch through. You will probably want to buy some industries while playing. The map features a few
new goods, industries, etc. I hope that you enjoy Arizona Rails.

The Great Northwest
Railroads arrive in the Great Northwest. This map runs in 3 Eras from 1890 thru 1950. This map is a SAM and was designed as a single-player map.
There are no crossovers. To cross existing track you must switch through. Tunnels are expensive. Use them sparingly.
You will probably want to build some industries. I found through testing that it was sometimes advantageous to remove old trains
and possibly unneeded track. Be aware that the good “Brick” can only be delivered to Metros and Cities. At the start of the map neither
exists. I hope you enjoy The Great Northwest.

Heart of Texas
Welcome to the Heart of Texas SMR map. This is a SAM and was designed as a single-player map.
That said it has been tested with AI and played ok. This map was a tough one as I was chasing
an issue that was causing crashes. It took a while but that has been resolved. I want to thank
railage for his help in testing this map. A few corrections were made, thus this is the 2nd
version of this map. The map plays in 3 eras from 1920 to 1980. I hope you enjoy Heart of Texas.

RAILGRADE, a new train tycoon, is coming to Steam!
Hello Everyone!
I’m Daniel, I’ve been running SmrSimple for about 15 years now. Since my childhood I’ve loved playing train games. A feeling I am sure many reading can share 🙂 Over the years since participating in the SMR modding scene I eventually made my way into the game industry. From there I worked up my career to eventually making my dream game: RAILGRADE.
In making RAILGRADE I took many lessons from SMR. Not least of which was I wanted to fix branching. As you may know in SMR the AI often gets trains deadlocked. We solved that whole-sale in RAILGRADE by giving players full control over where and when trains take branches. We then structured the entire game around a handcrafted campaign. We’re further working on supporting a proper in-game map editor along with support for the Steam workshop. Thus a site like smrsimple would not even be required in the future to grab new maps for RAILGRADE, you will be able to download them directly!
If any of that catches your interest please consider wishlisting my game on Steam 🙂 Thank you for your time and consideration.
