Sidetrack — Tiny Trains for Your Desktop

Sidetrack is a tiny railway town in a strip along the bottom (or top) of your desktop. Get on with your day: the trains keep running, the cargo keeps paying, and whenever you look down the town is going about its business. There is no timer and nothing can go wrong. Run the railwayIdle at your own pace. Stations make cargo and your trains carry it for coins. Blow a train's whistle for extra coins, send it off as an express for double pay, or just let it all run.

Buy and build. Wagons for every cargo, steam, diesel and electric engines, faster track, more trains, longer platforms and station lights for the night shift. Five districts on one long line. The Countryside, the Harbour and its tides, the steep Mountain, the electric-only City and the endless Grand Terminus, each with a chain of contracts that opens the next. The Museum. Retire a finished district for tokens, perks, liveries and decorations, then run it again, on a charter for a medal if you like.

Offline progress. Close the game and come back up to 16 hours later (72 with Museum perks) to what your trains earned. Focus blocks. Set a 15 to 90 minute block, get on with your work, and a bonus express rolls through town when it ends. Live in the townA town that grows with your line.…
