What is Rails?
Mark the cells that contain railway track. The row and column clues tell you how many track cells each must contain. These totals are clues, but matching them alone does not guarantee the correct layout.

Everything you need to know about Rails
Learn the rules and try a practical solving tip.
Rules
- Build a continuous railway track from start to finish.
- Given tracks are locked in the correct direction. Continue the track through their connections.
- The track count in each row must match its target.
- The track count in each column must match its target.
- Use crosses to note cells that should be empty.
- Your markings must meet the targets and match the puzzle solution.
Tips
Tip: A row with a target of 0 must be empty. If a row has a target of 3 and already has three track cells, cross out the rest.
