Digital Rails



DigitalRails currently owns and operates the following websites:



Our websites and communities are powered by software from vBulletin and vbMods.Rocks

DigitalRails started out started selling utilities and routes for Microsoft Train Simulator and OpenRails in 2015, with a goal of making sure proceeds after expenses were directed towards railroad preservation.

In 2023, an opportunity to save Trainsim.com from potential extinction presented itself, and resulted in a change in our primary mission: digital preservation of over 20 years of the forum discussions and over 40,000 digital uploads created by site members.

Today, most DigitalRails products are now available at Trainsim.com via its store and file library. If you previously purchased an item from our old store site, you can still gain access by contacting one of the site administrators. You may be asked to provide information to validate and gain access to prior purchases.

Preservation and historical organizations such as the Illinois Railway Museum and CNW Historical Society have benefitted from the proceeds of those sales, as have several operators of non-commercial websites supporting the train simulation community, some of whom are now privately hosted by DigitalRails.
