United States, 1830: The New World is booming. Industry is thriving, and the race is on to establish the most powerful and dominant railway empire in North America. It's time to outpace your competitors and lead your company into the dawn of the 20th century!
In Railway Empire, you will create a vast and complex railway network, acquire more than 40 different trains modeled with exceptional detail, and build or buy stations, maintenance workshops, factories, and tourist attractions to keep your network ahead of the competition.
You will also need to recruit and manage your staff to ensure efficient railway service, while developing over 300 technologies, ranging from mechanical train upgrades to working infrastructure and cutting-edge equipment, across five eras of technological innovation.
However, building and research alone are not enough to reach the top: competition is fierce, and to ensure your company's longevity, you will have to face up to three rival magnates.
To reach the top, you may need to resort to more ruthless tactics, attacking and sabotaging your opponents through raids and industrial espionage.
