Shortline Railroad Overview
Shortline Railroad is a real time management game for DOS where players build and operate a small scale railway system. The focus is on the direct experience of constructing and running a railroad, rather than on complex economic simulation.
Gameplay involves overseeing train movement to ensure they reach designated destinations without stopping or crashing. A player's performance is measured by their ability to manage both the active traffic and the underlying track layout and infrastructure.
The design prioritizes accessible, immediate play over realism, positioning it as a fair and straightforward entry in its genre.
