Home of TrainOps Operations Software
TrainOps is a computer program designed by large scale railroaders to allow you to run your trains realistically. It is based upon the concept of trains operating to pick up and deliver your rolling stock to your industries. It was specifically designed to handle the unique problems of running trains outside, but can also be easily used for smaller scale layouts. It is an easy program to learn and use with an intuitive interface and all the information you need readily available.
