Are you the next Cornelius Venderbilt and railway mogul? Can you achieve a monopoly? In Train Manager you create and manage your own railroad empire where you build it up from nothing to owning routes all over the world. Compete to be at the top of the multiplayer leaderboards and challenge your friends and other real life train managers from all over the world. REAL LIFE TRAINS AND STATIONS Utilize the power of a train tycoon simulator to create a strategy where you can become as big as real rail companies like Deutsche Bahn, SNCF, BNSF, CSX, Union Pacific, Japan Railway Company or CNRC and claim monopoly. Create, schedule and explore international routes between train stations like Shinjuku, Hamburg, London Waterloo, Grand Central Terminal, Paris Gare Du Nord, Taipei, Roma Termini or Penn Station. Track your trains live when they drive from town to city or when they are staying idle at stations. CHOOSE REALISTIC GAMEPLAY You can play on two difficulties: either EASY or REALISM. Go the easy way to lower prices and increase profits or challenge yourself with realism where you have to be the manager of the smallest things like the fuel prices and taxes. ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY Not only is it more convenient and easy to travel the railroads, but it’s also better for the environment compared to a car, ship or plane. Be a green manager and help bring more focus on transport of passengers and cargo by train. From steam engines to running on diesel to high-speed electric bullet trains - you are able to shape the future and set yourself up for success if you deploy the right tactics. Features include - Track your routes LIVE - Manage your staff - Invest in rival rail companies - Put your company on the stock market - Create or join alliances with influential managers or friends - All the most known real life locomotive types - Buy and sell used cars and caravans - Customize and upgrade your trains - And much more! Become the CEO of a vast network of railway routes and trains and strive to take over the world and realize your dreams of a monopoly. Choo choo - all aboard the train simulator!
