Hi Amr,

it works for me on my machine on unstable.
This patch overrides the upstream name: https://sources.debian.org/src/railway-gtk/2.8.2-2/debian/patches/build-set-project-name-to-railway-gtk.patch
Thes desktop file has the correct renamed line it it:
$ grep "^Exec" /usr/share/applications/de.schmidhuberj.DieBahn.desktop
Exec=/usr/bin/railway-gtk

Does this also display the same for you?

best,
