Similarly, whole industries are also put up for auction amongst players. This gives the player a ten-year exclusive use of that technology.

The game is heavily focused on economics – players have to build and sustain entire industries using the railroads they develop. The terrain is also more compressed in this game there are few areas where players are allowed a long, straight run of track, meaning that parts, such as hills, mountains, rivers, and inlets, play a much more important role in the game. 'Railroads!' is fully three-dimensional and geared more toward head to head real time strategy than the previous versions.
