There is a problem with the .ts4script portion of the files, but the career is still otherwise functioning . Rest assured I am working on fixing this. UPDATE 13AUGUST2026: The hourly wage and promotion reward were missing from level 5, and that has been fixed.

Help out the occasional hobo, watch for vandalism, admire some particularly creative graffiti (then sadly arrange for its cleaning), and run off any delinquents endangering themselves and others by playing on the tracks. LEVEL 2 - SIGNALLER Days: Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun Hours: 5:00 - 13:00 (8 hours) Salary: ﹩35 Objectives: Charisma 4, Logic 4 Promotion Reward: 500 Simoleons Description: As a signaller, it is your duty to make sure the trains get from point A to point B on time and safely, accomplished by operating the points and signals from a signal box to control the movement of the trains.

You must also collaborate with railroad conductors and yardmasters to ensure the efficiency of movement and maintaining operation schedules.
