Railway Empire, as its name implies, is a strategy and train sim game in which players design their very own railway network. It’s 1830 and it’s up to the player to connect the disparate pieces of the New World via train tracks. The sim features over 40 different historically-accurate trains, helping create perhaps the most immersive train sim available yet.
