Overview

Beansburg Narrow Gauge Railway puts you in the cab of a train on a map set in the fictional town of Beansburg, where over 60 locomotives are waiting to be found and driven. This guide covers the controls, how to navigate the map, what to watch out for, and how to earn badges through exploration.

Basic controls

Check
In short All of the essential inputs are simple, but a couple of them have consequences that catch new players off guard.

Pay special attention to the reset rule — it is not obvious until it is too late.

  • Press W to move forward on PC.
  • Press S to move in reverse.
  • Click the red sign next to a switch to change which track the switch leads to.
  • Click the transparent box between two cars to disconnect them from each other.
  • Resetting your character deletes whatever train you are currently on, so only reset when you are ready to choose a new one.

Things to find around the map

Tips
In short Beansburg rewards players who wander off the obvious routes and look in unexpected places.

The map includes themed areas like a mine and a sugarcane field, each worth visiting on their own. Hidden beyond the main lines are three Barn Finds — unusual vehicles tucked away somewhere on the map — as well as loose items like a lost cookie, two pennies with different conditions, and a beans sign. The longest bridge in the game stretches 1,138.3 feet across a body of water.

Tips worth knowing
  • Visit the mine area and the sugarcane field — each has its own badge.
  • Find all three Barn Find vehicles hidden around the map to earn three separate badges.
  • Cross the 1,138.3-foot bridge to earn the badge tied to it.
  • Keep an eye out for small items on the ground; the lost cookie, two pennies, and a beans sign are all collectible.
  • The instant train mix item is hidden somewhere on the map and has its own badge when found.

Staying out of trouble

Warn
In short A few habits will save you from losing your train or ruining another player's run.

Head-on collisions and unexpected resets are two common ways to lose a train. The game also warns against pulling very long consists.

Worth watching out for
Never reset your character while you are sitting on a train you want to keep; the train disappears instantly.
Avoid pulling very long trains it is not forbidden, but the game itself flags it as not recommended.
If lag or other players are causing problems, switch to a private server they are free to create.

Private servers and multiplayer

Summary
In short A free private server gives you full control over who shares the map with you.

Up to 12 players can share one server. If that becomes chaotic, a private server costs nothing and lets you explore or run trains without interference.

  • Max players per server 12
  • Private server cost free
