Railroad Corporation 2: A New Era of Train Simulation

In the bustling heart of the city, amidst the noise of trains and the rush of commuters, your journey begins. As you step into your newly established office, a map unfolds before you, and with visions of a successful corporation in mind, you are ready to lay the foundations of your railroad legacy. Despite the crowded city streets, your path is clear - forge ahead, build your network, and rise to greatness.

Railroad Corporation 2 is a train tycoon game set in the early 20th century, where you take on the role of a railroad magnate to start your own railroad corporation. Take advantage of the electrification of railroads to lead the way in this new era of trains. Strategize as you lay tracks, manage finances, deploy locomotives to transport goods across vast landscapes, and outpace your competitors.

Onwards and upwards! 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. Use semaphores to control the flow of traffic and keep junctions clear for smooth train operations. Construct bridges, tunnels, and level crossings to manage a vast network of tracks and locomotives.

Establish cities and nurture their growth over time. Research and build industrial production facilities, hospitals, banks, and other structures to gain unique benefits that will help your corporation thrive. Construct power plants to supply electricity to cities and railroads. Upgrade these structures to reach your corporation's full potential.

Running low on resources? Unlock additional resources through geological exploration and discover innovative ways to develop the landscape.

Financial acumen is just as crucial as laying tracks and running trains. Analyze accounting reports to assess your financial health and make strategic decisions. Dive into the world of loans and bonds to infuse your corporation with much-needed capital through the Financial Department. But be cautious - each financial choice carries its own risks and rewards. Buy low, sell high, and manipulate global commodity prices to your advantage. But remember, every trade has consequences, and your actions can impact the market.

With the Lobbying Department, influence government policies and local regulations to your advantage. Whether it's securing tax breaks or reducing construction costs, strategic lobbying can give you the edge.

Expand your corporation by establishing new departments, such as research, financial, and lobbying departments, to unlock new opportunities like researching new locomotives, establishing new settlements, and issuing bonds. Hire and manage staff within each department, utilizing their passive abilities to enhance your operations. As you expand and upgrade your departments, you can attract and recruit higher-level employees who bring even more productivity, pushing your corporation towards greater success.

Grow your corporation through the campaign mode! Test your skills and compete against your friends for dominance in online multiplayer. Forge partnerships and work together in co-op mode, or focus on your solo corporation in Sandbox mode. The choice is yours!
