Railroad Tycoon 3 features 25 scenarios in which players will relive the great exploits of railroad history around the world. Players can lay track (including tunnels and overpasses), choose between 40 locomotives from early steam locomotives to modern high-speed trains, transport over 35 different types of cargo for the benefit of a dynamic economy, and play on a detailed stock exchange.
The new 3D engine amazes with new possibilities. It allows smooth zooming from a general view of the continent to highly detailed models of trains, buildings, or beautiful landscapes.
Railroad Tycoon 3 also includes expanded support for online play with integrated chat and a matchmaking system. The soundtrack is also impressive, featuring some of the best tracks from genres such as blues, country, and Americana.
