The OSRD is an open-source web application designed for railway infrastructure planning, capacity analysis, timetabling, and more. Users can design railway infrastructure, analyze capacity, detect conflicts, and visualize capacity for short-term planning. The platform allows for the automatic addition of new trains to existing timetables. OSRD promotes open-source development, enabling anyone to use, develop, and distribute the software. The project follows open governance principles, with decisions made collectively. It is designed for interoperability, allowing custom infrastructure formats and signaling systems to work together seamlessly. OSRD is sponsored by contributors, with all rights reserved.

Picolisp a Railroad Simulation
A railroad simulation in PicoLisp uses Discrete Event Simulation (DES) to model trains as bots moving between stations, changing tracks, and shunting. Users control the simulation through logic and network layout files.

It doesn't work out in all cases, but in areas where it does it silently moves society forward!
The railway system in Switzerland is far, far more reliable, far more central to the Swiss economy and proportionally (Switzerland is smaller than France) services much more of the country in terms of both geographical reach and service frequency.
But ... credit where credit is due, kudos indeed to the Frenchies for building and open sourcing something like this, I would love to see a video of it in use.
[EDIT]: I skimmed through the documentation, and I haven't found anything pertaining to monte carlo simulation of a complex railway system subject to external perturbations, as in: throw a bunch of unexpected events (accidents, breakdowns, blockages, late trains from a neighboring country entering the system, etc...) and see how well the whole network's efficiency holds under such disturbances. Maybe I am misunderstanding the purpose of the system.
[EDIT 2]: OK, found something. Such a "how well does the network do under perturbation" is not part of the feature set yet but seemed to be in the cards. From [1], in section "Operations studies / Planned features include", I read: "automated timetable robustness assessment using stochastic simulation".

How hard is it to use though for someone without a real technical skill set ?
