This is the "spiritual" sequel to Railroad Tycoon (as that one was made by Sid Meier, as is this one).
The original RRT came out in 1990 (first computer game I ever bought!) and it was the precursor for essentially the entire "Tycoon" genre of games.
RRT2 and RRT3 were made by another developer, a fine chap who managed to buy the rights to this series (hence the "Railroads!" name for this game... following the theme of "Sid Meier's: Pirates!", another remake of one his classic originals).
But now we get to see Sid give it the 21st century treatment. I can hardly wait.
Fun fact: the original Railroad Tycoon was originally going to be a computer version of playing with a model railroad - no cut-throat business competition or anything like that. After tooling around with early designs, though, they realized the game would be a lot fun as a railroad/business simulator, hence "Railroad Tycoon". Ironically Microsoft eventually came out with the game Sid decided not to make, releasing Train Simulator (not as successful, I'd argue, because 1. I never played it, and 2. they decided against developing the sequel).
