Play Rail Switch online
Rail Switch is a train dispatcher arcade game. You are Pip, the night dispatcher at a small junction yard.
Trains roll in from the left, each painted red, blue, or green. Before a train reaches the yellow junction, flip the switch so it rolls on to the depot of its own color — red to the top depot, blue to the middle, green to the low depot.
Deliver 12 trains correctly within 120 seconds to finish your shift. Three trains sent to the wrong depot end the game, and gold express trains are worth double points.
How to control Rail Switch
- Set switch: keys 1 / 2 / 3, arrow up / down, or tap the depot buttons
- Start / restart: Space, Enter, or tap
- Mute: M

Tips for a better run
Set the switch early: a train locks in the switch position the moment it crosses the yellow junction.
Watch the next train's color, not just the one at the junction — flip between trains when colors change.
Gold trains move faster and are worth 200 points, so prioritize them when one is coming.
A streak of correct deliveries adds up to 50 bonus points per train; one wrong depot resets the streak.
Late trains arrive faster and closer together, so keep your hand on keys 1, 2, and 3.
