Become a pioneer of railroads in America
In this train frontier classic game you're more than just a train station manager. You are the one who will begin the history of American railroads! As a pioneer, you have a unique opportunity to follow the path of well-known railway companies and capture the entire continent by absorbing other companies. -
Work with famous personalities
Meet and work with famous American figures! They will tell you about their building ideas and ask you to help deliver resources.

So don't miss your chance to increase wealth! -
Control resources
Produce, manage, and deliver resources to all crucial points on the map! To build your railroad tycoon empire, ensure efficient and timely supply across your entire railway network!

Community Insight:
El juego us parece bien pero le falta como ms para interactuar en el.
Wow; just wow. We are a huge railfan. We have played TSW5 Trainz, and this game is insane. It just blows Train Station out of the water.
We love the game. But we dont love being limited to only three trains being run at one time. We feel like we should be able to purchase however many trains we want. And not leave it to chance for us to spin and win one.
Been loving the game. Only problem yesterday it crashed on the load screen and we havent been able to play for days now. Crash crash crash. So bummed.
This is a great game except for one flaw which should be able to be fixed with no major issues it needs to be automatically save more often so you dont lose your process twice we lost bout 4 to 5 hours cus it didnt save before having to reset our phone for whatever reasons and we only started a week or 2 ago.
As with many apps this game is not like the app. Graphics are nice but.
We really wanna be an admin. OK we could like make this game way better we could have passenger trains, commuter trains Ill finish up more railroads just please. We really wanna be admin. Ill make this game way more better for anyone. OK Ill help you out and Ill make sure you get the best game ever OK just please just please let us be admin.
Ive been playing this game on our iPad and really enjoying it. Suddenly theres an update that isnt available on the iPad so we are forced to switch to our phone. Ive waited a few weeks but still no fix. Is there any plan to make this update available for iPad or am we forced to only play on our phone.
Boy you guys screwed the pooch because we cannot play at all now. Game says update the app but will not accept us pressing the button to update and the App Store shows no update available. So now we have a game Ive invested in and can no longer play. Nice.
The game started out fun then they started to randomly change things the wait times in the factories became longer and longer, now for the last 2 expansion events they have stopped it for one reason or another the game is buggy and people are either flat out cheating during the events or are paying to win..which is no fun getting decimated by a team with 8 players compared to your 30. We hope they fix the constant issues and lower the wait times as it stands now the game is close to being unplayble.
This game used to be fun, but in the last couple months theyve restructured it in such a way that its just a big cash grab now. The only way to spend more time playing and less time waiting- for EVERYTHING- is to drop way more money than this game has any business charging. People are leaving left and right, and those who stay behind only check in once or twice now. It used to be fun, but now its time to find a different train game.
Thats because theres only one surviving New York Central J2 class left in the world so please make it rare.
Hopefully the developers will see this. We enjoyed the game at first. We even spent a pretty good amount of money to keep it going. But then we noticed the blue gear parts started piling up. As we write this review we have over 12,000 blue gears and just 100 or so of each of the other colors. Every time you spin the train or gearbox, 9 out of 10 times you will get blue. We had to stop playing. Balance that and Ill come back.
Like we try to do BLK&SCY Railway (Belrin Lukenshiew Kalwin & Scorthire South Chrome Yorks) and we need these symbols that remove the whole name, change the name capacity to 40.
Ive played all the train tycoon games and this one has the best graphics. Im absolutely hooked and trying to collect all the trains and explore new maps. We also love the alliance feature when you reach level 15. We know Ill be playing this game for a few years lol.
The graphics when this game is being introduced are outstanding! Super fun gamehighly recommend it.
Super support via discord. Can play for free, but there are obvious situations that force one to spend. Fun concept and great visuals.
The game is really good, even though incomplete, and we can wait for all other companies and trains to get in the game.
Have had a copper wire job saying its done.but will not let us say its done.
The sceneries are nice, but the graphics are outdated for over a decade. When its imposible to provide realism, do not try to – make the art, like AFK Journey does. Please, add the historical descriptions of the locomotives; otherwise, there is no sense in watching them or collecting them.
When you get to certain level it makes it hard to update across multiple devices.
Been playing for a couple of months now. Developers recently made an upgrade to game which we feel it made difficult to navigate. Production time of some products in factories are so long and buying items to speed up game play are way to expensive. Try if you like but we are overall dissatisfied.
We enjoyed the game at first, but now they have changed how you gather/collect money, and have grossly increased the amount of resources needed to build items. It appears as if the developers are railroading you (no pun intended) into paying your hard earned money. No longer fun.
The game is not bad but to get anything done takes hours after early game. Events take forever because the amount of time needed to make everything. We feel the factories need a speed upgrade ability.
The game was beginning to get fun and enjoyable. Then the new update happens and you now have to make multiple trips for simple things like taking money to your warehouse instead of 1 train like before. We could understand it with normal supplies but not the cash trains.
Ive been playing a little over a month now. We are a part of a group just so we can have a chance to do a Special Event, but nothing has ever popped up. It is cool to chat with your colleagues, but when we are a part of something with no perk, then what is the point of joint a clan?oOther than to get rid of the notification to join a clan, and that is about it. There was an update 1 day ago, so we know this game is still active, why can the update have a new event? Also where are the Coming Soon regions.
We are writing this because it is all about spending a fortune to keep playing it not designed to play hours at a time unless you spend a fortune.
Great game, built wont open today.
The beast train game we have plays.
We have been playing the game for about 3 months and we really like it but we finished the third area and we cant move on. We get area coming soon is there a time frame for the other areas to open up? We.
Game overall is great, good simple-ish mechanics, good looking and accurate trains, not super slow pace, although the story is a bit forced, Id like to play the game not have to spam tap our screen to get through all the dialogue, also would be nice if there was a photo mode or something to get shots of trains.
The game is not remotely complete. There are only three areas to explore. Moving around the maps is absolutely horrible. Theyre only design mechanic is creating ways to make you wait for hours for anything to happen. Its not very fun.
Its a good game but our problem with it is when we had saved enough coins up to by another conductor we did just that right after we had watched a video to have one more for and hour and so we should of had 5 at the time and when we came back the next day to play we only had 4 so we wasted all our coins for nothing cause now Im back to 4. If thats how they are going to do it its not worth our time to play.
Latest play is not happening. App wont open. When the game works, items and upgrades cost too much and takes FOREVER to upgrade. Game is beautiful.
We actually enjoy playing this game but after playing for a little while it began to crash and we have to start the day over. Im on a level over 50 and thats when it started. We want to play but you need to fix this.
The graphics are good, gameplay is fun – but gets repetitive as you just chase one task after another, over and over. The only MAJOR annoying issue is that once you leave a region (progress to the next) you can no longer earn engines for that previous region. At that point, an occasional offer for a container will appear and you can buy a miserable chance at one with your precious gold coins. And never get one! So, be sure to stay in each region and earn a Legendary engine – youll need it later on as tasks require specific engines. Deleting tasks you dont have an engine for is frustrating and time consuming.
The game was great to start with and now Ive been waiting WEEKS for an update for new maps. The developers should be more on point with this when making the game. So we gave it 3 stars because after the third map your done.
We enjoy the game so far except for the fact that it crashes quite often.
This game was great until we played as far as we could play. We wish they would update the game and have some new content. Stay up-to-date lol, please.
This will be a great game once they fix the problems throughout the game. 1) it doesnt reclaim unused RAM AND THEREFORE AFTER ABOUT 45 minutes of playing, the program will shut down. 2) the game will run okay on our iPad Air for about 3 weeks but once you start adding networks and you are required to move more and more resources the game will just shutdown and wont load again. The support team says its a known glitch and they are working on it. In the mean time you cant get back into the game. 3) if you dont collect the cash resources in the proper order; Washington, Albany, and then Indiana, trains will show up across partner networks and other trains will not be available. The fix is to shutdown the game and restart it. Like we said, it can be an enormously fun game once and if developers fix the bugs.
Tried it a few days but we couldnt get some things to work. We had no place to buy more trains. There was another screen with a factory and we built some houses we think but never saw that screen again. Got to level five. Completed several tasks. One task said we didnt have the right train but couldnt do anything about it. Had all kinds of keys, coins, gears, cash, etc. There was a plus symbol on the screen at the top but it would do nothing. IDK. We gave up.
There isnt any way to upgrade your trains except by chance. There is no way to work for the right gears or even buy them which are necessary to upgrade your trains. You are at the mercy of luck to get what you need to make your game more fun. Gameplay would also be more fun if we could know which trains haul which resources to know which trains to upgrade.
THIS IS THE BEST TRAIN GAME IM OBSESSED WITH.
Es un juegazo y us gusta muchos las locomotoras de vapor y eso us gusta mucho ms.
When will you release a polar express.
We gave this a try and its actually rather engaging and interesting and not an exact cookie cutter of all the other games that are on the market and we like it because of that. Theres not much originality anymore these days and games. Its like the same five games with a different skin, but this one is similar, but also unique.
This is a train station 2 clone that somehow manages to be better then train station 2. The ability to play offline is a god send. Especially if you dont want to burn up all your service playing it. The only downside is that when you partner with a new company you can no longer unlock trains from the previous company. The game is only about 5 months old and it looks great except for the railsrocks and ties have bad texture quality no matter what setting you use. And thats another thing. Being able to change the texture quality as older phones over heat sometimes. Is a good game better then train station 2 for sure.
Overall, we highly enjoy this game despite the negative feedback the game gets because people arent patient. When you make certain products in the game, you have to wait like all other games. Everyone cries and wails about when the next region comes out, but there are literally other activities that you can do outside this game or within. Our main critique of the game is the reliance on earning coins to either increase the amount of engineers you can hire, or the ability to upgrade your in game facilities to make certain products. Our other criticism is on the earning of locomotives. Randomizing the locomotives you can earn via keys is nice and all, but after awhile it gets rather frustrating as you could want one locomotive reward from the spin, but you keep getting everything else but that (this is much later into the game or region mind you). But overall we really enjoy the game and variety of locomotives that can be earned.
We have been playing this game for a while now, there are three regions to start with. And about 6 more supposedly going to be developed. Still waiting for other regions to be developed.
Be nice to see new terrify soon. About to quit if not.
