About Railway Empire

Railway Empire poster

Railway Empire carries you back to the United States of 1830, when the New World was surging upward, industry was booming, and rivals raced to build the most dominant rail empire in all of North America. Your challenge is to outthink and outmaneuver those competitors as you steer your company forward into the 20th century, laying the tracks that will define an era.

At the heart of this simulation and strategy game is the creation of an elaborate, far-reaching rail network. You purchase over 40 different trains, each modeled in extraordinary detail, and you buy or build the stations, factories, and attractions that keep your operation running and profitable. Every new line and investment is a bid to stay one step ahead of the competition.

As your network spreads across the growing nation, the pressure to plan wisely and expand strategically never lets up. Managing routes, resources, and rivals all at once, Railway Empire turns the golden age of American railroading into a sprawling business challenge where the sharpest strategist claims the continent on PC.
