Railroad tycoons battle for control of booming Texas lines, growing companies and cashing dividends to finish richest.

Gameplay

Build track on a shared Texas map and buy, sell, and auction railroad shares to end with the most cash. Control can flip suddenly, so every expansion or payout risks handing rivals the company or starving it of growth.
