Description
Go back in time to when the railroad was a lifeline that drove the economy and brought the continent together! Conduct one of the most prosperous businesses of the era and test your skills against some of the most infamous rail Barons of the 1870's! Players will be able to compete across a map of the entire US with a network of hundreds of tracks and thousands of trains connecting the continent. They must control their fleet of engines, make strategic decisions where to expand, where to compete, and when to engage in a well-timed price war, use influence to cause stock raids, investigations, and sabotage - all in an attempt to outmaneuver their opponent.
