Description:
America in the 19th Century. By passing the Pacific Railroad Acts through Congress, the US government opened up the interior of the continent to a number of railroad companies. The race was on to cross the Great Plains and the Continental
Divide and create a truly united United States of America. Settlement of the west, encouraged by the Homestead Acts, provided further incentives to extend the rail network across all parts of the country.
With faster travel came the need for even faster communications, and telegraph companies were quick to take advantage of the provisions made in the Acts, allowing them to connect their lines to the railroad companies' telegraph lines as they were built.
The rapid growth of the telegraph companies made their shares very attractive to entrepreneurs, who flocked to the railheads and the newly connected cities in order to get a slice of the action.
You are the head of a small railroad company on the East Coast, competing with rival companies to expand your rail network to the west and develop your business.
You will build train stations in cities that you connect to and contribute to the development of the first transcontinental telegraph.
You must also manage your workforce carefully, using workers with the right skills at the right time.
The Railroad Revolution has begun!
