An economic strategy game created by an experienced studio, Gaming Minds, in which the player becomes an owner of a railroad company. Their task is to take control of the entire market and turn their company into an empire. Since the game takes place in XIX and XX century, the technology of the entire society is constantly changing. The key to success is to not only build new railroads and invest in new trains and train stations but also to use innovative technologies (divided into five historical periods), build factories, buildings in which you can repair your vehicles and provide tourists with attractions. Our competition, controlled by AI, is always on our heels – the fight for keeping our position on the market requires us to hire spies and saboteurs. Railway Empire offers a campaign mode and single missions, in which players must complete very specific goals. In addition to the aforementioned modes the players can also select a free mode that allows them to develop their virtual business without any goals imposed on them.

Bounty Train is an economic strategy developed by a small Canadian studio Corbie Games. The game takes place in USA during the second part of the 19th century. We play as a soon-to-be railroad magnate and our job is to accomplish the tasks we are given that focus on transporting cargo. We begin by piecing our train together and hiring employees: from train drivers controlling our engine to gunmen who will guard our precious cargo from robbers. Hiring the right people for the job is crucial because each and every one of them has different, more or less useful skills. As our business grows, we will invest the money we made in better train engines, more modern carriages, other equipment, and coal - our train's fuel. The game also features a nonlinear plot that focuses on finding the lost family and trying to save a group of native Americans from relocation.

The jubilee installment of one of the most popular series of railway simulators, developed continuously since 2001 by Australian studio Auran. The aim of the game is invariably to develop railway tracks together with the surrounding infrastructure, and then to travel along the routes created in this way in a realistically executed simulation mode. In keeping with tradition, the authors have reproduced an impressive number of locomotives in terms of appearance and parameters, ranging from old steam machines, through diesel, to electric ones.

An open-world economic tycoon game that focuses on managing a railroad company. The credit for developing this title goes to a Czech gamemaker - Jan Zeleny, who worked on the game for many years. Inspired by such classics as Transport Tycoon or Railroad Tycoon II, Mashinky gives us an opportunity to lay tracks, build and upgrade stations, work on new models of engines, and even to view the game world through the eyes of a train driver in charge of keeping the machine on the route set by the player. Apart from an FPP view and an aerial view, which is typical for strategies, Mashinky brings a special, schematic-isometric perspective that displays the map in the form of a legible engineering grid. This view mode is used to create new intersections of tracks and to mark spots for new structures. The game's economic system is definitely its distinctive feature, as it is not based on virtual money, but rather, on tokens inspired by board games. Those can be obtained through completing various assignments, and can be spent, for instance, on upgrading one's rolling stock - the electric tokens obtained through delivering fuel to a power plant allow the player to make progress towards electric trains. Because the game world is generated procedurally, each playthrough is a unique adventure.

Trainz Simulator: A New Era is another game from the popular simulator series, Trainz that, as its title suggests, opens a new era in the history of the series. The game was developed by N3V Games, a studio created by the series' original developers from Auran. A New Era uses a brand new engine. Thanks to that, gameplay is more realistic and the visuals are of the highest quality. Both the train models and the environment have more details to them, and thanks to the improved physics, visuals, and dynamic weather the game is even closer to reality. Introduction of the new game engine brought many changes, but the gameplay mechanics remain intact. We still design our own railways and test them. Traditionally, there is a set of pre-made routes available and many highly detailed railway engine models.

The action of the game is set in a world in which the human kind is almost gone because of an outbreak of a virus that transforms people into strange and dangerous beasts. You assume the role of a survivor traveling from town to town to look for fuel and other important resources. Gameplay is divided into two separate aspects: the first one concerns keeping your train - the only means of transportation you have available - in good shape and taking care of its passengers. The other one involves exploration and fighting. Once in a while, you will stop at different places to thoroughly search them. Outside the train you can come across a variety of useful objects, or meet other survivors, but you will also stumble upon bloodthirsty creatures, which will need an immediate introduction to your broad arsenal of weapons.

An economic strategy game developed by JoWooD Entertainment AG. The action starts in 1850 during the great economic boom. The player assumes the role of a newly-established transport company that deals in transporting various kinds of goods and raw materials as well as factory workers. Our task is to dynamically expand our company and forge it into a true transport empire throughout centuries. Transport Giant offers over a dozen varied campaigns set in Europe and in the United States. As we play, we set routes for our vehicles (over 130 means of transportation, such as trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes), build bridges, overpasses, and tunnels, erect new buildings (over five hundred types), and expand the trade of our company. What’s interesting, the said production was released on PC in 2004, and 13 years later UIG Entertainment developed an enhanced edition which was released on PlayStation 4, as well.

An independent economy simulation strategy game in which we develop and manage a railway network. The title was created by a three-person Lithuanian-Russian studio called Flazm headed by Aleksey Davidov, the author of 2008’s browser production entitled Railway Valley. Train Valley lets us develop our railway business in one of four different locations, each of them set in a different era (from 1830 to near future). The gameplay involves building a well-functioning railway network with railroad tracks, tunnels, bridges, and the like. Our task is difficult because of the limited budget which forces us to carefully think over our decisions. While playing, we also have to react to accidents that happen, monitor current situation, build track switches, sidings, branches, and so on. In total, there are over 15 models of locomotives and 18 types of cars of different purposes at players’ disposal. The game features a friendly and slightly cartoonish visual style.

An advanced railway simulator created by Dovetail Games studio. The game is a platform to create and manage virtual railways. There are thirteen locomotives at our disposal – among them we can find American F7, or German V200. While behind the console, we travel on real railway lines, including the British Oxford – Paddington, and the American Cajun Pass. Fictional railways appear next to real ones, while monotony is averted by the ability to design and share your own tracks with the online community. A special, advanced editor allows for creating railway engines and personal scenarios – the game offers 50 of them at the beginning. RailWorks includes high-quality 3D visuals, which isn’t surprising considering the developers were also responsible for incredibly popular Microsoft Train Simulator.
