The game again takes place in the Industrial Northeast as the owner of one of four major railroads. Your objective is to build westward and take advantage of resources that you may place along the way. You draw a set of tiles and use capital and resource tiles. The game takes place in three separate ages, a Silver, Golden and Rust age. VP are earned by the types of resources claimed by your company routes versus the age you are ending, VP for making it to Chicago, VP for each city you are connected to and VP for being a railroad built furthest to the west.

Resources degrade over time and resources and track rights are hotly contested throughout the game.
