The 20th century heralds the new age of electrification for the mighty railroad, and with it, a new opportunity to make your fortune. Build your empire carefully, as you deploy modern electric and diesel locomotives, lay new tracks, transport goods and passengers, and stay ahead of the competition.

In the city's bustling heart, amid the clatter of trains and the bustle of commuters, your journey begins. As you step into your newly established office, a map spreads out before you, and with dreams of empire in mind, you're ready to lay the foundations of your railroad legacy. The city streets may be crowded, but your path is clear—forge ahead, build your network, and rise to greatness.

Railroad Corporation 2 is a train tycoon game set at the turn of the 20th century, where you take on the mantle of a railroad magnate to start your new railroad corporation. Seize the opportunity of railroad electrification to lead the charge in the new world of trains. Strategize as you lay tracks, balance finances, deploy locomotives to ferry goods across vast landscapes, and outpace the competition.

Full speed ahead! Connect the region by rail to promote trade and supply your organization. Upgrade your tracks over time, unlock diesel and electric locomotives, and increase speed and efficiency to deliver more goods across the country. Control semaphores to control the flow of traffic, and keep junctions clear and trains running smoothly. Construct bridges, tunnels, or level crossings to manage a vast network of tracks and locomotives.

Become a railroad magnate and get down to business in Railroad Corporation 2, now available in Early Access on Steam and will remain so until 2025.
