About PrimeRailControl

Prime Rail Control puts you in the signalman's chair. Every train on your patch is your responsibility — set its route, throw the points, clear the signals, and keep the whole timetable moving without a single conflict. No twitch reflexes, no luck: just you, the panel, and the trains.

Operate authentic interlocking panels

Switch between control systems modelled on the real thing — each with its own look, logic and feel:

Relay interlocking (RZZ) — the classic push-button desk: press start, press end, watch the route lock in.
Numeric-choice interlocking — enter track codes on the keypad to build routes the old-school way.
ESA electronic interlocking (JOP) — a modern screen-based relief with route stacks and an emergency operations desk.
SIMIS-W — another electronic system with its own signalling graphics and workflow.

Prefer a cleaner overview? Flip to the geometric control view and dispatch straight from the track schematic.

Build or import any station

Track Editor — lay track, place switches, signals, platforms and interlocking, then test it live.
Import from OpenStreetMap — pull a real-world station straight off the map and turn it into a playable layout.
Import existing layouts — bring in stations from other simulator formats.

Run the timetable

Generate endless, believable traffic with the built-in traffic generator, or craft your own scenarios in the scenario editor — with day-of-week filtering, services that run past midnight, station stops, dwell times and train renumbering. Every service wants its platform on time; keeping them all flowing is the real game.

When something goes wrong

Points that won't move, track circuits showing false occupancy, signal and power failures, level-crossing faults — react the way a real dispatcher would, follow the correct procedure, and keep the railway safe and running. Your handling is scored, so precision pays off.
