Rails of New England

Build a rail and industrial network for a 19th-century New England state. Develop businesses, construct depots and tracks, and connect them to major markets in New York, Boston, or Montreal to increase income. Draft cards to establish businesses, claim mail contracts and special routes, or gain state subsidies. Economic conditions and historical events affect each round, while new periods introduce more advanced industries and require older businesses to become obsolete. After up to 16 rounds, the player with the most valuable assets wins.
