Developed by Corbie Games · Published by Iceberg Interactive
You lead a railroad company in 19th-century North America, building connections between towns and settlements. Campaign missions set objectives based on historic rail networks, while sandbox play lets you expand without the same mission structure.
Plan routes across frontier terrain by laying track, digging tunnels, and raising bridges. Run trains to move goods between industries and towns, matching shipments to changing supply and demand as you work to make routes profitable and settlements grow.
Grow the business through research, company departments, employees, loans, and the purchase of buildings, land, and industries. You can also lobby politicians to change laws, compete against AI rivals, or play co-op and competitive online multiplayer.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight the economic planning loop: laying routes, moving resources, and building a profitable network. Some also value the approachable track and train controls, mission-based campaign, and co-op play. Reviews are mixed, with recurring complaints about bugs and routing or track-laying friction, as well as repetition or limited reasons to continue in free play.
