Players of Railroad Tycoon 3 begin the game with a modest sum of
capital at the beginning of the Golden Era of Railroading and
expand their empire into major cities, while purchasing the latest
locomotives, forcing competitors into bankruptcy, and exploiting
the stock market to become the ultimate Railroad Tycoon.

As well as the 25 challenging scenarios to recreate magnificent
feats of railroading history from around the world, players can
also lay down track, complete with tunnels, bridges, and
overpasses, then pick from more than 40 locomotives - from the
original Planet and Norris 4-2-0 to monstrous late steam engines
like the 4-6-6-4 Challenger to the ultra-modern EuroStar bullet
train. Players will haul over 35 different cargos between more
than 150 different buildings, in a dynamic and fluctuating
economy. Manipulating Railroad Tycoon 3's realistic stock market
with margin buying, short selling, hostile takeovers and mergers,
players can build up a massive fortune and even prosper by running
their railroad into bankruptcy.
