Sid Meier's Railroads! (called Railroads! for short) is a railroad-themed business simulation game by Sid Meier. The original version was developed by Firaxis Games, published by 2K Games, and released for Windows on October 17, 2006.
Railroads! is a sequel to Railroad Tycoon 3, and was the first game in the series since the original to have input directly from Sid Meier. It is fully three-dimensional and geared more toward head-to-head multiplayer than previous games in the series. Gameplay focuses heavily on economics, with players laying railroad tracks over terrain (which is more compressed in comparison to previous games), using the railroads they develop to build and sustain industries, and bidding on new technologies and industries at auctions.
Railroads! includes fifteen scenarios set in regions such as the Southwestern United States, the Pacific Northwest, the United Kingdom, France, Eastern Europe, and Germany. These scenarios allow players to assume the role of historical business magnates, including Cornelius Vanderbilt and J. P. Morgan.
