All aboard! This site turns your screen into a train window

There’s something incredibly relaxing about train rides. Just sitting by the window and watching the scenery go by, whether it’s rolling hills, quiet towns, or bustling cities, feels almost meditative.

RailPass is a site that attempts to recreate that experience on any computer. It’s a free website that lets you take virtual train rides through countries all around the world. No tickets, schedules, or delays anywhere in sight—just a one way ticket aboard the leisure express.

The site uses real footage filmed from trains, with routes spanning more than 30 countries and regions. There are scenic routes through the Swiss Alps and Japanese countryside, or you can witness the hectic hustle and bustle of everyday life unfold along the tracks in India. It’s a great way to procrastinate without completely derailing your day.

When you go to the site, you can pick a country from the menu and RailPass will pull up a train ride for you. Some countries have multiple available rides, so just reload the same country if you want to try a different line. You can also hit the Random button in the bottom right to pull up a completely random train ride anywhere in the world.
