A Deep, Interconnected World of Trains and Cities.
A-Train 9 V5.0: Japan Train Simulator Ultimate Edition blends transport simulation, city building, and economic strategy into a single, richly detailed experience.

This isn’t just a highly detailed railroad sim – it’s a living, breathing ecosystem where every train timetable, suburban expansion, and industrial hub contributes to the success of your metropolis.
