About
Set in a huge open world reminiscent of the Americas during the golden age of steam trains, Railroads Online puts you in the role of a pioneer helping to shape the future of America. Build tracks, traverse vast landscapes in various steam locomotives, transport goods to earn money, and customize and buy new locomotives and equipment as you grow to become a railroad tycoon. Play alone or with up to 15 friends in the online cooperative multiplayer mode on 4 different large maps including Lake Valley, Aurora Falls, Pine Valley and Mesa Plains.
Tracks, trains & more
Design your dream rail network from the ground up. Explore the world, scout the best route and lay down embankments, switches, turntables and more. Select and build tracks, bridges and other infrastructure buildings afterwards. Then cross the vast, open landscape in finely detailed locomotives and wagons. Interact with regulators, valves, brakes, couplers, and many more features in first-person view as you drive your vehicles. But you won't simply be driving around aimlessly! Your mission is to build up your company by transporting goods across the country, including timber, ore, coal, cattle, gold and other various freight items for a broad variety of industries. Earn money for every successful shipment and invest in new vehicles or upgrade and customize your existing locomotives. Plus: build stations, yards, and other infrastructure along your routes to service your trains with fuel, water, and sand. You can also build up a wide variety of iconic buildings and objects to create a beautiful surrounding for your railroad network.

I first learned about this game a long time ago watching the Youtube series Kan and Hyce made. and after a few years forgetting about it I returned to rewatch the series and decided to get the game myself. And i must say that I have enjoyed every second of my playtime on this game, from the rail planning to resource management all of it is super enjoyable for people who love trains and making their own railroad empire. I don't even care anymore if the game isn't getting any new updates, I love playing this game with what it is now. If you like trains and making your own railroad world, I suggest you play this.
I like trains :3 and initially i really started liking this game, being a good contrast to other train games i played. a big plus to this one is that you can lay your own tracks. A Squiggly bumpy ride up a mountain? or a more flat, more straight bridge across a valley? Choice is yours. But over the time i played Inconsistensies came up. Mostly Balancing issues. Why are 6 logs on a 30ft car barely worth more than 5 logs on a 10ft car? Why is coal a worse fuel than wood even tho you have to work hard for it, while you literally get wood for free? This plus bugs in menus, when rerailing plus the game hasnt recieved an update in over 2 years and mods not being supported/getting abandoned kinda can't make me recommend this game.
Game is horrible now. A buzzword way to say it is "over-engineered, over-done slop". I fully understand wanting to make something good looking, ui, sounds, gameplay, etc. But there's a point of when you over do it. I'm so disappointed, I LOVED this game-have 59+ hours on it, just to turn out like this. I haven't played in a year, even then it was pretty cool, but it just got to much and only could play an hour or so. I miss the old 2022, 2023 RAILROADS Online. :/ The gameplay is boring. The graphics are annoying. Me no like anymore, man. give feedback on what you guys think, I'm curious
Game was ruined by updates and is no longer enjoyable. Updates stopped all together now. It used to be good. GGs.
The graphics are absolutley amazing, i love that you get to build your own railroad, thogh the tutorials are a little long, its an amazing game!
During Early Acces the game was playable and enjoyable especially with the RROx mod. Then Astragon came and do what they always do. Ruining the game, ignoring the community, stole ideas of the RROx mod and implemented them but render them useless and missing QOL functions entirely. Molding is still not supported. On a MSI Mag Tomahawk x670 board Ryzen 9 7900x 12-core 5.4GHz 64 GB RAM RX 7900XTX 24GB Vram Lexar NM790 2TB nvme The trains are rubberbanding in curves (single-player). Last update was somewhere in 25. Dont waste money, I would request a refund if I wouldn't have bought it in EA before Astragon ruined it.
Das Gelände kann nicht bearbeitet werden und ausserdem wird es auch nicht weiter entwickelt. Obwohl es nur eine bessere BETA ist
It's a good game I playd for a while and I like it.
Good game if you like trains and highly recommend to play with friends for more fun
this game is one of the best narrow gauge railroad simulators ive ever played, but the small shrubs can derail an entire train which is very painful to see. when are we going to get a 2ft gauge update? i wanna make the gilpin tramway
