The train switching game
A railway switch sends a train one way or the other. In Railsort, every switch is yours to set.
What a switch is
A railway switch, also called points or a turnout, is where one track splits into two. Moving the switch decides which branch the next train takes. Railway signallers set switches in advance, so each train finds its route already open.
Switches in Railsort
Each switch is a glowing junction on the board. One tap flips it. The route it opens lights up, all the way to the station the train will reach.
The route counts at the moment you tap: a tap just before the train reaches the junction still sends it the way you see lit.
Setting switches well
- Look at the next trains, shown at the top, before tapping.
- Set the switch nearest the depot first: it decides the train's first turn.
- Once a train has passed a switch, that switch is free for the next one.
