If you like railroad tycoon games, and I do, Railway Empire is available free until 9-17 at Epic Games Store.
It's a nice 40 dollar game

You're welcome. Been thinking about it for awhile. Now that it's free for a bit, why not? love the old Railroad Tycoon games.

Why not get out Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon instead?

Would really love to see a railroad game that is entirely war centric.
For instance, many WWII East Front games have the German player building/repairing
railroads. converting Soviet gauges to German, ensuring enough supplies
of the right kind get to the rail heads. But it is very abstract and
simplistic. Seems like a rail road game focused on this aspect would
be very interesting. Those five Jagdtigers are needed east of Warsaw?
Fine, but you may have to procure the right railroad stock to carry them
and make sure the route has bridges that can support their weight.
Perhaps the problem lay in any strategic aspect that would be hard to
reconcile with the deliberate usage of railroad resources for genocidal purposes?

That sounds good and you won't have a Chinese backed company with software on your computer maybe doing things that you don't know about or want done.

I don't have my Amiga 1000 anymore. And it is limited to 32 trains.

The enemy won't know what hit them if you do it right. Send them right into the poor house. [:D]
Superficially A game Railroad Tycoon 3, about trains is very about keeping up a company and forcing your competitors. Trains are used to communicate travellers, mail, and even troops (all of which have explicit goals) and also to communicate different freight, which your company gains cash for determined by the differentiation in price between the pickup area and any location you choose to communicate them to.

You don't need to build rail since the cargo gets there by other means. And for someone worried about software on your computer maybe doing things that you don't know about or want done..... MicroCap Magazine does not warrant that the website is free of viruses or other harmful components.

Maybe I did something incorrectly, but that download leads to a mandatory survey requirement, which is just a scam looking for signups etc and ain't worth it. RRT3 is an ok game, but there are better ways to get it.

Nice but EGS isn't going to get a foothold on my PC , as a company and especially the CEO is a 2 faced hypocritical bastard.

As for Tycoon games, while not focused on just rail to me there's nothing that comes close to what Transport Tycoon did, especially with OpenTTD (Open Source game based on Transport Tycoon website : https://www.openttd.org/ )which allowed me to mold the game with so many mods adding scripts, railpieces, trainsets, townsets etc etc I think with that I've pumped in so many hours and still play it to ease my mind.
I've played other Rail & Transport tycoon games but none kept me going for as long OpenTTD did.

Spent about 2 accumulated hours browsing....
Then I remembered something. you can always go back, but, sometimes you forget why there's little point in doing it
Ok, simulators, there's a reason my storage has none. A handful of years ago, I realized, I just no longer cared.
Old versions, example Allied General. Why bother, I spent good money on Panzer Corps, it's better. I never play number 2 games, I prefer playing the best option.
I have a folder called Old Schlock Wargames. Schlock. I simply don't have enough daylight to dedicated time to something I call 'schlock'
Oh well, everyone gets side tracked by nostalgia eventually.
I have games made in the last 5-10 years calling me

Got the game. Didn't have that survey.
I grabbed Civ VI when it was free. Have not touched it. [:D]
