I'm trying to make a list of the best computer games about trains/railroad.
The ones that I enjoyed playing the most were the games of the Railroad Tycoon series (especially RT II and RT 3, the last member, Sid Meyer's Railroads was a bit of a disappointment to me because of the cartoon-like look). The Railroad Tycoon games are fun especially because they are highly interactive and (unlike the simulators), offer the player playing purposes and goals.
I also enjoyed Microsoft Train Simulator, especially because of the customizable content (and the great amount of free custom content available). It's a pity that Microsoft has stopped the development of MS Train Simulator 2, which promised to become a very nice game (judging by the previews).
Rail Simulator and Trainz Railroad Simulator are also beautiful train simulators.
Does anybody know any other good railroad computer games? Any chance that Railroad Tycoon may have a true folow-up in the future?

    Sorry. Don't know other rail road games. The only thing I know about railroad trains are the trains you could build in Rollercoaster Tycoon . But I didn't play that game for long...the graphics were quite bad.

    There is always a chance that there will be a add-on!

    I've never heard of Railroad Tycoon, but here's what happens when you aim a speeding roller coaster at the people waiting in line:

      I've only played the previous version of Rollercoaster Tycoon, but this one looks like fun

    I didn't even know there were computer games about trains and railroads.
