You are the chief of your own railway. The purpose of the game is to build your own railroad and get your train to run on it. You will need to put rails in, and then you can start to build a train, and it will start to run as soon as you connect two stations together. 

The game is a 2D game, so you can see the railroad in the game, but in reality it is more like a 2D map. You can see the stations and the rails, but you cannot see the terrain or the other objects. The terrain is something that you need to build the railroad on, and the other objects are things that you need to build, such as a town or a tunnel. You will need to make sure that the railroad is well built and well maintained. If it is not, then your train may crash, and it may be damaged. You will have to repair it, and then you can start to play the game again.
