When you enable trip status in your account settings, your trips are highlighted based on their status, such as booked, completed, cancelled, or draft. You can now recalculate your milestones on the Milestones page, and we recheck them whenever your trips change, so if you edit or delete trips, levels they no longer reach can be taken away.
Service stations and custom points
You can now add service stations such as depots and sidings, as well as reusable custom points for locations that aren’t regular stations. Custom points can be selected again without recreating them each time and can also be used as the start or end of a trip. Service stations can be enabled in Account Settings → Preferences.
Trip templates
You can now create templates for trips you take again and again, like your daily commute, and add them with just one tap. Choose what each template fills in, including times, train, class, reason, tags, and costs. Dashboard shortcuts are coming soon to make recurring trips even faster to add.
Vehicle data sync
We have synced our vehicle database with WikiData. If you are missing vehicles, check out this guide or reach out via our ideas board.
Rail Network Update
We have updated the rail network and fixed reported routing issues.
Addititional export options
You can now export journeys, vehicles, tags, and travel passes as CSV files, in addition to trips. Patrons can also download the geo routes of all trips together as a single file.
More powerful filters
Filters are now much more flexible. You can filter by additional criteria such as vehicles, choose whether rules include or exclude matches, and combine multiple rules into advanced filters. You can also save a filter as your default for whenever you open viaduct. We plan to bring the same filtering options to all statistics pages soon.
RailQuest, mobile optimizations, and map image download
The map page is now optimized for mobile, making it easier to explore your trips, routes, and station coverage on the go. We've also added RailQuest - Fog Map, a new mode inspired by exploration games where your train journeys gradually reveal the map. And when you find a view you like, you can now frame it in 9:16 and download it as an image.
Japan Timetables, Faster Maps & Video Fixes
Shared journey links now include preview images. Video animations have been improved with filtered cancelled trips, fixed intermediate stops, and an updated distance counter. Route coverage maps now load faster, and timetable integration for Japan is available in beta. Please report any issues you notice.
viaduct Fall Update
Our fall update makes viaduct faster and adds a few things we've been looking forward to sharing. Maps now load noticeably faster. We've also made distance calculation more precise. You may see small changes in the distances of trips you've already logged, but that's expected and reflects the improved accuracy. We're also excited to introduce viaduct milestones, now in beta, with a first set of achievements to unlock as you travel. Bulk importing your trips is smoother too, and you can now bring in your travel history from more sources. As always, we'd love to hear what you think.

Timetable Data for South Korea
We have expanded our timetable data coverage to South Korea.
Journey sharepic, currencies, railguess
We have improved the positions and sizes of operator logos on the journey sharepic. You can now use the currency KZT. We fixed the 'play again' button on RailGuess (railguess.com) and added an initial version of a game stats page. Further statistics will be added within the next few weeks.
Rail Network Update
We have updated the rail network and fixed reported routing issues.
Journey and tag selection
We have improved the input fields for journeys and tags. Relevant options (more recent journeys; tags associated with many trips) are ranked higher.
We have launched RailGuess
Meet RailGuess (beta), our new game at railguess.com! We show you a railway station with its name blurred out, and you pin where you think it is on the map. Play maps for the whole world, Europe or a single country, each at three difficulty levels, and climb the leaderboard for each map. Endless mode is there if you just want to keep guessing. You can try one World game without an account, and your viaduct login works there too, so you don't need to sign up again. Please let us know if you experience any problems or have ideas how to improve RailGuess.
Smarter station search and other improvements
We’ve improved station search with more relevant results and smarter recommendations, added GeoJSON and KML route exports for Patrons alongside GPX, optimized CSV imports for better operator and station matching, fixed several UI glitches, and updated our Privacy Policy and Terms.
More Timetable Data
We expanded our timatable data coverage to Taiwan, India, Mexica, Turkey and Morocco. More countries will follow soon.
