This guide is a reference guide to all facts, stats and numbers in Train Valley 2. If you miss something in this guide, let me know in the comments!

* Called 'Train Epoch' in the level editor, and have 1 lower value. A train with 6 cars has train epoch 5.

In addition to above stats, shorter trains accelerate slightly faster than longer trains, but the difference is negligible.

Not all locomotive skins have the same length, and this can make a small difference. Longer locomotives have slightly lower travel times.

This is because the spawn point for each train is between the first section (the locomotive) and the second section, while the despawn point is at the front of the first section, and thus have to travel a shorter distance.

Here are all the locomotive lengths (the first section):


In conclusion: as long as you avoid Skin 4 of the 6-car train (The Locosaurus) and Skin 5 of the 5-car train, you're good to go.

The following table contains the cost of tracks, tunnels and bridges.


* Destroying a tunnel gives you $10.000, no matter the length.

A bridge or tunnel also places 2 track pieces at either end, increasing the total cost by $2.000. This cost is added even if the track pieces are already present! Destroying the bridge or tunnel does not destroy these two track pieces.

Tracks can only have one branch per square.
Tracks can only go straight or make 45° angles.

When a train is destroyed, the two track pieces closest to the locomotive are destroyed, and replaced with a prop that costs $5.000 to remove. The total cost to replace all track pieces is $12.000.

The following list contains all products in the game. The list is ordered by Reward per unit, then alphabetically by Product.

The following Production sites are special, and work as noted:


Stations send Workers. Each Production Site (except Wind Turbine Power Plant, Market, Store and Customs) require workers to function.

To finish a level, you have to send products required by cities to the nearest station. If multiple stations are the closest to the city, you can send the product to any of those stations.


Power Plants produce electricity, which cannot be transported with trains, but is instead transmitted using rails. Any production site connected to the Power Plant that needs Electricity is powered when the Power Plant is producing.

Note that the tracks do not necessary have to make a valid path for trains, they only have to connect or cross each other.




Generic Production Sites can create any Product in the game, even ones not produced by normal Production Sites, like Electricity. The type of product each site produced is specified by the level maker, and cannot be changed by the player. Each site has different requirements, as described below.


Generic Production Sites can create any Product. Here is a list of products that can be created that cannot be created by normal Production Sites:


The Stock Market requires Workers, Bonds and Electricity, and will produce $6.000 per Worker and Bond delivered in one cycle.

Money is not a product you can put on trains, unless the Stock Exchange already had Money stored at the start of the game. This is also true for Harbors and the Market.

• A Warehouse can store a single type of resources or goods predefined within the Editor.
  
• Delivering trains to a Warehouse will not earn you money.
  
• Stored resources can be delivered from a Warehouse to another production building with a train at any time.
  
• Quantity of resources that can be stored is predefined within the Editor too.
  
• Storage services are provided for free and with no time limit.
  
• No, storing Electricity is not allowed.

Obstacle stations acts as various obstacles to your trains. They don't produce any Products (some even require Products!) and are just to add an extra challenge to maps.


The One Way Station has one track going through it, which can only be traversed in the direction of the arrow.

The Embargo has one track going through it, which will block any train transporting the Product it embargoes.

Destructible Rocks are impassible obstacles which can be removed by providing it Dynamite. Only 1 train of any length of Dynamite is require to remove the Destructible Rocks.

Customs have one entrance and one track going through the Customs. When the specified product is delivered to the entrance, the track going through is no longer blocked for a certain amount of time.

The Toll Station has one track going through it. When a train passes through at the toll station, the displayed fee is subtracted from your balance. if you do not have enough money to pay the fee, the train automatically stops and continues in the reverse direction. This does NOT cause you to fail the 'Do not stop any trains' objective.

• A Pass Limiter station lets trains through in both directions-without a toll.
  
• Every passing train uses 1 Pass Limiter charge.
  
• After all charges have been used up, a Pass Limiter becomes unavailable for a certain amount of time-until it recharges.
  
• A Pass Limiter can be recharged unlimited number of times.
  
• While recharging a Pass Limiter will not let trains through and will reverse any incoming train's direction automatically-no explosions or money loss.

The Passenger Flow DLC adds 8 colored stations to the game, each marked with the letters A to H. Over time, a train will automatically be scheduled at a station, marked with a colored circle and letter of another station above the departure station. Assigning a train to that station will deploy a train that has to be delivered to the other station.

The reward per car can be edited by the level creator, and it can vary between $1.000 and $10.000 per car, with steps of $1.000 in between. The reward can be different between each pair of stations, for example: A train from A to B can give $2.000 per car, but from A to C can give $4.000 per car. However, a train from A to B has the same reward per car as a train from B to A.

The time between the automatic scheduling can vary from level to level, and it can even change during the level. For example, the first 10 trains can have 20 seconds between them, while the next 10 trains may have 10 seconds in between.

Colored stations can be disabled at the start of the game, but unlike normal production sites, you can't build them by spending money. They are automatically build once a certain number of trains have been scheduled.
