America in the year 1830.
Embark into a new world full of adventure, business, power and 
money. Brave pioneers set out to conquer the new world with 
their iron horses. As the owner of a small railroad company, 
your job is to build America's first transcontinental railroad line. 

Thanks to perfect planning, keen business know-how and a 
healthy portion of pioneering spirit, this is your chance to rewrite 
the history of the United States.

Discovering

In the wide, undeveloped country of the new continent, you'll 
happen upon hidden dangers and treasures. Sign on staff for 
your first expeditions and open up paths for your rail network 
through the rough wilderness.
Discover and exploit an increasing number of raw material 
deposits. 
Face the dangers of the wild and make sure that your pioneers 
are accompanied by the specialists they need, such as 
cartographers, gunmen, etc.

Construction 

Use tracks, switches and signals to build an efficient line system 
as the foundation for your business empire.

The Dynamic Track System (DTS) makes connecting cities or 
raw material deposits mere child's play, but you can also plan 
the track sections individually according to your wishes in order 
to squeeze every last dollar from each rail. If the progress of 
your pioneers comes to a standstill because of a massif or 
raging river, your engineers will help you with mighty bridge or 
tunnel constructions. 

Trading

Your trains and engines are at the core of your small but thriving 
empire.
Go into research and develop the fastest express locomotives or 
powerful freight engines to keep up with the increasing 
requirements of a thriving economy. And have your scientists 
research transport methods for the ever-growing number of new 
products in good time. 

Keep on trading to make sure that towns grow and profitable 
production chains develop. Remember to keep adapting your 
trade routes to the changing conditions.

At the same time, don't forget to equip your locomotives with 
various upgrades. That way, you'll be able to take on special 
orders that'll keep you that one decisive step ahead of your 
competitors.
