which historical railway management game should I get?

bump

You didn't need to bump this thread, the votes are in.

Played Bounty Train only. It was fun, but 100% achievements require a lot of grind, also, it will become boring in ~10 hours, but the price is low so.... Developers not planned any achievement behind DLC paywall, but one is bugged and unlock only if you buy the extra train in the DLC.

Railway Empire, I have it already. I plan to play once but need DLCs for achievements and for full content. It looks more polished and interesting than Bounty Train but I don't want to play only the base game when I start it once and right now I don't see any point to buy the DLCs. (too many long games I playing currently, my gaming schedule preplanned until September) It might get cheaper in the future.

Without having backlog or games I playing currently (or would be in a mod for a train game) I would buy Railway Empire.

Bounty Train was in a bundle previously so you can trade or get it at a lower price. It's decent but it's not really about building train tracks.
Railroad Corp is not bad either but it's a mixed bag with a few problems you can read in steam reviews.
Railway Empire is probably the better pick of the three, being more polished with the tracks. Well, it is also the most expensive and has more than a few dlcs.

Where is Transport Fever option?

bounty Train <3
i loved it and as you might get it cheap, you realy schuld give it a try

Railway Empire is perfectly functional but utterly soulless. It's weird how these games have been around for twenty, thirty years now and we still seem to be waiting for a genuinely good one.

Railroad Tycoon 2 or, if you cannot buy from steam for stupid region locks, here. I have sunk over 1K hours into this and still love it.

Did you buy one yet?

Avoid Bounty Train, it's not a management game.

Did you try Mashinky?
