Railroad Corporation is a strategy game that allows players to manage their own 19th-century railroad company during the Golden Age of Steam. As a player, you must build railroads, tunnels, and bridges to connect towns and cities and make investment decisions that will benefit your business. You must also lobby politicians, manage global resources, and keep an eye on your competitors to become the best in the business.

One of the main features of Railroad Corporation is that it offers historically accurate locomotives and rolling stock to choose from. As you become more successful, you can research and upgrade your stock to keep up with the competition. The game also boasts beautiful landscapes that players must blast, dig, and tunnel through to connect towns and cities.
