This game has an option for a sandbox mode. Which is select a map and just build your railroad, select your locomotives, you can even build other buildings. Like for instance, you can build more houses to increase your passenger traffic within a city! There is no money involved! I've built quite an extensive Railroad! Thanks and enjoy

About This Game
It can take you from New York to South Africa. It can take you from the year 1804 to the year 2000. It can take you from penniless manual laborer to powerful multi-millionaire.
It can take you from a normal, well-adjusted, well-rounded person to an obsessed, singled-minded, one-tracked train head. This is a real railroad game, not just a strategy game that happens to involve railroads. If you want to hop on a plane, car or ship, hop on another game.
This game is about trains for people who love trains. Everything about the game is centered around an authentic look and feeling of the railways. Period video and pictures are interlaced with the game. The design and interface are true to the character of the fabled late 1800's railroads. A.I. opponents are based on real people. And all maps are real (based on satellite photography from US Geological Service and other sources).

giving this a thumbs down because: i have the issue of the game crashing after a few months in the round (this equals a 1-2 minutes of game time). this can usually be solved by setting the game exe to windows xp compatibility mode. however, if i do it with this steam version of it, it starts complaining that it can't find steam and refuses to start as a result (= issue can not be solved). i also own this game on another game platform (not naming which one but u can guess if i tell you to "go guess it") - and there changing the compatibility of the startup exe file does work just fine. PS-comment section is open so if anyone knows how to solve this issue for the steam version, feel free to tell me and if that works, i'll gladly change this review to a positive one then
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this game. I just couldn't make the Steam version work on Windows 10. Not with fiddling in nvidia control panel settings, not with dxwnd. I recommend the GOG version instead. That one actually works. Still needs the fiddling in nvidia control panel though.
No
very interesting game

A fun game especially for people who love trains and strategy.
Oldie but goodie!!!!!!
