What is Freight Hauler mode?
Freight Hauler is a brand-new game mode that allows players to freely move freight around their favourite routes.
Freight cars will be randomly distributed across the route awaiting delivery to their destination. You can freely spawn locos and move around the route by setting a path to get the job done any way you see fit. The in-game map will provide you with detailed information about each freight car, which can also be viewed as a floating tooltip in-game.
What routes are compatible with Freight Hauler mode?
For the Train Sim World 7 launch, Freight Hauler mode will only be compatible with new routes, but you are free to use any locos you can spawn in Free Roam mode. Compatibility for other routes and timetables may be added at a later date.

How do I play Freight Hauler mode?
(Main Menu > To the Trains > Choose a Route > *Select a Route* > Freight Hauler)
Once you have selected a compatible route, Freight Hauler will appear as a game mode. For there you can choose where you start, what time it is and the weather.
In-game you will see a brief introduction and then you will be set free to complete your objective any way you want.
Wagons that need to be moved will be marked with a red X on the in-game map and once they reached their destination the icon will turn into a green tick. Hovering the mouse over a wagon will give you more information about it, including it's destination.
This information will also be displayed as a floating tooltip above the wagon when you get closer to it. However, this can be toggled under Settings > HUD & Gameplay if you would prefer to play without tooltips.
