About This Game

Rails Across America is a game of railroad empires in North America, covering the period from 1830 to the near future. It is a real-time strategy game with a "sim" flavor. Rails allows hundreds of tracks with thousands of trains crossing the continent. Players must focus on strategic decisions: where to expand, where to compete, and when to call in favors from government officials, union leaders, and other powerful figures.

Sophisticated cargo routing system enables large-scale play enabling hundreds of routes and thousands of engines.
Influences let you directly affect other players: cause a financial panic, start an investigation into the player's company, instigate a strike, petition a city for route assignment or force independents out of business.
60 different engines and cars.
Intelligent AI modeled after 12 real world rail barons.
Up to 8 players in multiplayer over LAN.
Create new worlds using the Map Editor and unleash your creativity to craft your ultimate train fantasy.

I grew up playing this game. When windows 7 came out it would not work on the new system. I was very happy to find that they re-released it on Steam. It is just like I remember. great play. highly recommend
