Set in a huge open world reminiscent of the Americas during the golden age of steam trains, Railroads Online puts you in the role of a pioneer helping to shape the future of America. Build tracks, traverse vast landscapes in various steam locomotives, transport goods to earn money, and customize and buy new locomotives and equipment as you grow to become a railroad tycoon. Play alone or with up to 15 friends on 3 large maps, including Lake Valley, Aurora Falls, and Pine Valley, in the online cooperative multiplayer mode.

Tracks, trains, & more
Design your dream rail network from the ground up. Explore the world, scout the best routes, and lay down embankments, switches, turntables, and more. Then select and build tracks, bridges, and other infrastructure buildings before crossing the vast, open landscape in finely detailed locomotives and wagons. Interact with regulators, valves, brakes, couplers, and many more features in first-person view, as you drive your vehicles. But you won't simply be driving around aimlessly! Your mission is to build up your company by transporting goods for a broad range of industries across the country, including timber, ore, coal, cattle, gold, and other various freight items. Earn money for every successful shipment and invest in new vehicles or upgrade and customize your existing locomotives. Plus: build stations, yards, and other infrastructure along your routes to service your trains with fuel, water, and sand. You can also build a wide variety of iconic buildings and objects to create a beautiful landscape for your railroad network.
