The early days of steam power: a time when railway companies were locked in cut-throat competition to build their networks into the very heart of cities in a battle for the busiest and most profitable routes. This classic, best-seller recreates that Golden Era of Steam Power as an exciting and skilful game. The double-sided board gives two different settings - Central England and the Western States of the USA.
