To create a route, the player first selects the semaphore at the beginning of the segment (the semaphore which stopped the train) and then clicks the wanted destination track.

Routing in the GameД®ach route segment starts by a semaphore and ends just before the next semaphore because semaphores stop trains вЂ“ a player can not stop a train anywhere.

This concept is implemented in simulators we drew inspiration from, as well as in Railroute. Semaphores, switches and tracks are reserved for the train until it passes them. For each segment, all switches are set automatically and after the required change is applied, semaphore displays вЂGoвЂ™. Paradigm changed with advent of Centralized Traffic Control вЂ“ dispatcher defines route for a train segment by segment, from semaphore to semaphore. Historically, both switches and signals were operated manually one-by-one, while various interlocking mechanisms prevented conflicting set-ups (and collisions).

In the real world, railway switches control where a train goes, while a driver observes signals (displayed mainly by semaphores) telling him to stop or go. In Railroute, trains stop and leave stations automatically, according to their timetable вЂ“ the game decides when trains go while the player controls where trains go by creating a route for them. The goal is simple вЂ“ each train should reach its destination on time, without preventing other trains to do the same. Routing of trains is the main activity in the game (as already the name of the game indicates).
