Mechanics

Just like in the previous installments, the gameplay revolves around expanding and managing a railway network. The game is divided into 25 stages, featuring different types of locomotives. We must craft an increasingly efficient web of railways, which our trains will use to transport cargo to specific places on the map. While producing goods, we must keep in mind we have limited resources. We must manage them skillfully while keeping our network efficient.
