The 19th Century has arrived and America is expanding west. Wagon trains filled with settlers seeking new lives and opportunities strike out to tame the wild land of the west.As more and more settlers head west, new cities pop up like mushrooms. Due to the distances between them, these new cities quickly come to rely on new railroads for the transport of vital goods.

Trails become rails and create great wealth. Soon, a complex railroad network develops, and steam belching iron horses connect the thriving cities.
