A Strategy Game That Runs on a Totally Different Kind of Engine

Establish yourself as a mogul to be reckoned with as you work your way up the ranks of the railway industry. Expand your domain across continents and a changing global marketplace.

Build the Transcontinental Railway or the Orient Express. Run steam trains through the jungles of Africa, or electric trains through the Swiss Alps. Run your competitors out of town on a rail.

It can take you from New York to South Africa. It can take you from the year 1804 to the year 2000. It can take you from penniless manual laborer to powerful multimillionaire. It can take you from a normal, well-adjusted, well-rounded person to an obsessed, single-minded, one-track trainhead.

If you want to hop on a plane, car or ship, hop on another game. This is a real railroad game, not just a strategy game that happens to involve railroads. Everything is authentic, from the period video and pictures interlaced within the game to the design and interface. A.I. opponents are based on real people. And all maps are real (based on satellite photography from the U.S. Geological Survey and other sources).

Don't get left at the station.
