Some - not many - improvements over Railway Empire 1. I like the additions, but as some others have noted, why can trains not figure out how to bypass each other. You can have intelligent stations with up to 8 rails, trains will go around each other only at these points. Anywhere else on the track you will find they backup waiting on the first train in line to fill up etc.. Even when you have a network of paired, directional tracks you will get traffic issues as the game drags on. After learning to live with these limitations, I enjoyed the game a lot. I have my usual gripes about the large number of map packs keeping me from grinding out all the achievements without spending another 70$ or so - pretty normal for transport games I guess. Would recommend, just know all game sessions have an expiration date as traffic piles up with no real way to solve the issue other than creating spaghetti tracks all over to make "shorter" bypass routes for trains.

Great game, excellent railway simulation game. If you enjoy Railway Empire 1 or Railway Tycoon, this is the game for you!

Nice game... terrible A.I. Train will sit and and wait for a train that over a hundred miles away, just so it can cross it's path... not us e the same rail line... just passes over the rail line to go to a whole other track...
