		+	When the level starts (when the tools are spawned) the train will be stationary for 15 seconds before it starts going. When the train stops at a station, it will leave 0.5m of track ahead. Since 1m of track is automatically spawned in front of the train at the start of the level, there will be a total of 1.5m of track at the start of every level. As such, it will take 45 seconds in total to crash your train in the first level.

-The speed displayed at the top left corner of the screen is calculated based on the base speed of your [[train]] engine itself and the distance since the first station in the current biome. The speedometer increases every time a station is reached or skipped and increases or decreases proportionate to the number of players in your game. The [[train]] speed is automatically adjusted when connecting to and disconnecting from the game. Inside the shop, the speedometer can be reset to the starting speed by upgrading the engine. However, upgrading the engine increases the base speed permanently.

 Speed is the distance that the [[train]] travels in a second. The game measures distance using in-game meters. One meter equals one tile. For example if the [[train]] speed is .250 m/s the [[train]] advances one tile in four seconds.
-The speedometer in the top left corner of the screen shows the initial speed of the [[train]] when it leaves the station, calculated by the base speed of your [[train]] engine itself and the distance since the last engine upgrade.

-The [[train]] speed can be different than what the speedometer shows. The speed can be increased by placing many tracks ahead. The [[train]] can be slowed back down to the speed it was before the increase by reducing the amount of tracks in front of the [[train]]. The speed can also be slowed by using the [[Brake Wagon]].
