Maximum speed limit
Every route in Train Simulator has a Maximum speed limit at which you are permitted to drive if
there is no Permanent Reduced speed limit or temporary speed restrictions specified for a given
track section.
there is no Permanent Reduced speed limit or temporary speed restrictions specified for a given
track section.
Permanent Reduced speed limit
Permanent Reduced speed limits are specified for certain sections of track that require the train to
operate at a slower speed than the Maximum speed limit, such as on curves, bridges, and in tunnels.

Temporary speed restrictions
Your Activity Briefing may note areas of temporarily restricted speed due to track conditions, mainte-
nance, or other hazards. Each railroad has its own means of indicating temporary speed restrictions.
In Train Simulator, Restricted Areas are marked with signs or colored trackside flags.

Restricted Speed
In Train Simulator, “Restricted Speed” is defined as a speed no greater than 15 mph, or 25 km/h.
You must move at Restricted Speed:

In flagged Restricted Areas, as explained above.
Within yard limits.
When reversing.
After passing a signal indicating Restricting.
After stopping, then passing, a signal indicating Stop

(with the dispatcher/signalman’s permission).
When you pass a flag or signal requiring movement at Restricted
Speed (for example, a signal indicating Stop and Proceed), you must
move at Restricted Speed (not faster than 15 mph, or 25 km/h) until
the leading wheels of the locomotive have passed the next governing
signal or the end of the block system.

In the Real World…
On most North American
railroads, “Restricted
Speed” is defined as a
speed that allows stopping
within half the range of
vision short of a train, a
locomotive, a railroad car,
workers or equipment, a
Stop signal, or an improp-
erly lined switch. In Train
Simulator, just don’t exceed
15 mph, or 25 km/h.
