A deck that has been in tier 3 for quite a long time, even reaching Tier 2. Sadly, it was recently pushed out of the tier. However, Railway is still a very strong and worth playing deck, always ranked among the top decks used by many high-ranking people (there is also super cute Anna :3)
The deck's strengths are spamming out very aggressive level monsters, Xyz abilities, clearing the opponent's field and OTKing enemies with XYZ monsters ATK 3000-4000. In addition, recently in the new box there is a Link support that is very good for Railway, both defensive and offensive, which is what helps this deck to level up. In addition, virtual skills give us monsters with up to 2800-3000 ATK to punch opponents to death if they have nothing to stop them.
As for the weakness, like all ATK decks, having their combo interrupted is a really annoying thing, sometimes expectations and 3 MSTs are not enough, so facing those who play games with 3 backrow sets, I have to suffer. First think about using the deck's destruction ability appropriately.
Overall rating: 8/10

During this turn, you can Normal Summon / Set Level 10 EARTH Machine-Type monsters without Tributing. Monster effects of monsters you have Normal Summon / Set during this turn will be negated, This Skill will only activated if you begin the Duel with a Deck (excluding Extra Deck) that has at least 10 EARTH Machine-Type monsters with 1800 or higher ATK. This Skill can only be used twice per Duel.
A perfect skill for Railway that can also be used Twice per Duel. We can easily see that the deck is heavy with level 10 bricks, so this skill has helped us relieve the burden and summon one of them easily (normal summon without sacrificing) and From there, activate the effects of other cards to special summon on the field.
In many cases (even I was punched) I lost frustratingly because of this skill. Many times when you think the opponent can't do anything more, they activate the skill and summon a huge monster with 3000 ATK and shut you down :v. That's also the reason this skill is used 100%

Once per turn: You can inflict 500 damage to your opponent. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this effect. During the End Phase, if this card is in the GY because it was sent there this turn: You can add 1 Level 10 EARTH Machine monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Ruffian Railcar" once per turn.
This card's 250 Effect effect is usually not used except on turn 1 because you cannot proceed to the Battle Phase if you use this effect.
The main purpose of this card is to special summon through the Field card, then it will be level 10. Then we can easily Link or Xyz, send it to the grave and we will have 1 free search. end of turn. In addition, level 4 or 1800 Atk is also quite ok when on the field to fight or to Xyz rank 4 instead of rank 10.
I can already smell the turn 1 play card when I hear it, right =))

ATK:

Cannot declare an attack unless you send 2 other cards you control to the GY. You can only use each of these effects of "Super Express Bullet Train" once per turn. ● If all monsters you control are EARTH Machines (min. 1): You can Special Summon this card from your hand. ● During the End Phase, if this card is in the GY because it was sent there this turn: You can target 1 Machine monster in your GY, except "Super Express Bullet Train"; add it to your hand.

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 EARTH Machine monster in your GY, except "Flying Pegasus Railroad Stampede"; Special Summon it in Defense Position, but negate its effects. You can target 1 other face-up monster you control; the Level of that monster or this card becomes the Level of the other. You cannot declare attacks the turn you activate this effect, except with Xyz Monsters. You can only use each effect of "Flying Pegasus Railroad Stampede" once per turn.

Spell
FieldRevolving Switchyard
If a Level 10 EARTH Machine monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned to your field (except during the Damage Step): You can activate this effect; your opponent takes no battle damage for the rest of this turn (even if this card leaves the field), also you Special Summon 1 Level 4 EARTH Machine monster with 1800 or more ATK from your Deck, and if you do, it becomes Level 10. You can send 1 card from your hand to the GY; add 1 Level 10 EARTH Machine monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use 1 "Revolving Switchyard" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
A field card has the ability to search for the Railway deck, but with the condition that one card in hand must be discarded. In addition, it can also help us easily Xyz rank 10 through its first effect. We can use it to special Ruffian or Flying Pegasus, swarm monsters and can create many ways to play.
Mystical Space Typhoon (x3)
This deck doesn't really handle being interrupted by backrow very well, so giving this deck x3 MST can help ensure that you can play more safely. Coupled with Freight Train's effect from something like Abyss Dweller, you'll be able to destroy multiple cards during your opponent's turn.
Treacherous Trap Hole (x1)
Trap
NormalTreacherous Trap Hole
If you have no Trap Cards in your Graveyard: Target 2 monsters on the field; destroy those targets.
Hitting 2 targets with 1 arrow, shooting 2 enemy monsters is very difficult, preventing them from summoning XYZ or even Link. The weakness of this card is that it is limited to 1 and is difficult and unlucky to mix with other traps. In addition, there must be 2 or more monsters on the field to activate its effects.
Book of Moon (x2-x3)
Spell
QuickBook of Moon
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; change that target to face-down Defense Position.
Unlike the remaining techs, Book of moon is quite useful for Railway. In addition to preventing the opponent from playing the game, we can use it on the monsters we specially summon, such as Night Express Knight. On my next turn, we turn over and there will be a Night Express Knight with 3000 ATK/Def instead of 0 like when we first special summoned it.
Compulsory Evacuation Device (x1-x2)
Trap
NormalCompulsory Evacuation Device
Target 1 monster on the field; return that target to the hand.
Kick 1 monster's ass on the field immediately. With the current situation, if meta decks are Link, other techs such as Floodgate, Book of Moon, E controller,... will be useless against Link monsters. This card will be the best choice to interrupt the enemy's combo.
Because of its strength, it has Limit 3. One more thing is that we can only get it through Selection Box.

3 Level 11 monsters Once per turn, you can also Xyz Summon "Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe" by using 1 Rank 10 Machine Xyz Monster you control as material. (Transfer its materials to this card.) Once per turn: You can detach 1 material from this card; it gains 2000 ATK/DEF, also for the rest of this turn, you can only declare an attack with this card. During each Battle Phase, this card can make attacks on monsters up to the number of materials it has +1.
You can XYZ Summon Juggernaut Liebe directly using a rank 10 Machine Xyz monster like Gustav Max or Skypalace Gangaridai. Juggernaut Liebe will have 6000 ATK due to its effects with multiple attacks on monsters your opponent controls if it has at least 2 Xyz Materials. Note that additional attacks are only available when attacking monsters, and after defeating those monsters, you cannot attack directly.

2 Machine monsters Cannot be used as Link Material. You can only use 1 of the following effects of "Double Headed Anger Knuckle" per turn, and only once that turn. ● During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can send 1 monster from your hand or field to the GY, then target 1 Level 10 Machine monster in your GY; Special Summon it in Defense Position, but negate its effects. ● If this card is in your GY: You can send 1 card from your hand or field to the GY; Special Summon this card.
The new support for Railway is also the only link card in the deck. The first effect of Double Headed Anger Knuckle is an effect that sacrifices resources in exchange for a level 10 Machine on the field.

You can only use the effect of "Skypalace Gangaridai" once per turn. This card cannot attack the turn you activate this effect.
Skypalace Gangaridai has a card removal effect with an additional 500 damage. You can then Xyz Summon Juggernaut Liebe with this card to help ensure a quick game, rather than giving your opponent another turn to cumback.

XYZ rank 4 can also activate effects during the opponent's turn, preventing some types of special summons (of course we will separate Freight Train when making XYZ material and add 1 turn of Destroy).

ATK and defense effects are good for us to survive. Bring it out if your opponent only has 1 monster on the field that you know you can overcome.
