A methodical, simulation-heavy game about building and managing a railroad empire within a dynamic economy.

What players say
Players call this the best railroad and economy sim ever made, with no modern equivalent. Getting it to run on Windows often requires fixes for crashes, while it works fine on Linux. The graphics and menus are dated, but the economic simulation and campaigns hold up well.
