About Railroad Tycoon 3

✦ AI summary

Build transcontinental rail empires across 25 historical scenarios, managing locomotives, cargo economies, and stock markets while laying track through stunning 3D landscapes that scale from continental views to intimate train details. The franchise reaches new heights with its advanced 3D engine, dynamic economic systems, and expanded multiplayer support alongside an authentic Americana soundtrack.

Railroad Tycoon 3 features 25 scenarios challenging players to recreate magnificent feats of railroading history from around the world. Players can lay track (including tunnels and overpasses), pick from over 40 locomotives from early steams to modern bullets, choose to haul over 35 types of cargo in a dynamic economy, and participate in an advanced stock market.
The new 3-D engine takes the franchise to the next level, allowing smooth scaling from an 'eye in the sky' view of an entire continent down to super detailed close-up of a beautifully modeled train, building, or just the landscape.
Railroad Tycoon 3 also includes more multiplayer support than its predecessor, integrating an on-line chat and matchmaking service. To top everything off, the game's soundtrack features another installment of some of the best authentic blues, bluegrass, and Americana music around.

Multiplayer available in LAN mode only.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Railroad Tycoon 3 has aged remarkably well in terms of gameplay and economic simulation, with devoted fans praising its depth and longevity as a classic strategy game. However, the game suffers from significant technical issues on modern systems, with most players reporting it either doesn't run at all or has severe compatibility problems that prevent getting past the main menu. Players interested in the game should be aware these problems are unlikely to be fixed and may require workarounds or legacy hardware to actually play.

I had this game on my old CDROM pc either using window 2000 or ME` for the game to be available on steam, but the challenge is steam no longer supports old operating systems and the game has not been made in a playable state by the developer/ so if i want to play this game, i either need to use my old pc going back to windows xp and looking for the CD rom to run this game everytime i want to play it. if you can find a way of operating this game on a modern pc, you might have hours on enjoyment, but not getting past the main menu

I like me a train game.

I enjoyed this when it first came out. Returning to it years later it surprises me how well the economics and gameplay hold up. That might be more of a statement condemning a lot of the trash published the last decade.

So many years on, I still keep coming back to this game. Even though it is quite old, it has one of the best economy simulations in the genre, and the gameplay and graphics still hold up well. A must have for fans of the genre.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
