Railroad Corporation 2

Railroad Corporation 2 invites players to pioneer the electrification of the rail industry at the turn of the 20th century. Players will establish and manage their own railroad corporation, constructing extensive rail routes and upgrading networks with state-of-the-art locomotives to stay ahead in the competitive market. Strategic economic processes are at the heart of your success, where decision-making and resource management are key. Each locomotive model is based on historical examples, offering different advantages, requiring players to make strategic choices to optimize their operations. Expand your corporation by cultivating cities, constructing industry facilities, and controlling production lines. The game also includes both competitive online multiplayer and cooperative gameplay modes.

  • Electrification and Advanced Engineering: Experience cutting-edge electro-locomotive technology and intricate railroad construction options, including bridges, tunnels, and city connections.
  • Expanded Strategic Elements: Enhanced signaling mechanics improve efficiency and flow on your tracks, and a map twice the size of its predecessor offers new territories to explore and develop.
  • Dynamic Corporate Management: Set up your headquarters in strategic locations and manage specialized departments like Research for developing new technologies and Geology for exploring and acquiring resources.
  • Comprehensive Staffing Solutions: Staff your operations strategically to gain advantages across vital departments, such as track building and maintenance, ensuring your railroad's smooth and profitable operation.
  • Enhanced Reporting Tools: New tools provide deeper insights into the operational health and financial status of your railroad empire, helping players make informed decisions and stay ahead of the competition.
  • Multiplayer Modes: Test your strategic skills in competitive multiplayer scenarios. Engage in head-to-head challenges in a 1v1 mode or collaborate with a business partner to compete against two others in a 2v2 setup. Both modes' distinct maps are tailored to test your strategic prowess and interaction among other entrepreneurs.
