I was playing Railroad Tycoon II on my girlfriend’s brother’s computer (had to test it out after rebuilding it, y’know), and I thought to check something. And I see that Take 2 has announced Railroad Tycoon III will be out the second half of this year.

Actually in heavy haul freight, a 2% grade is extreme. That has to be the most unrealistic aspect of that game. Building a railline on a 6% grade…Yikes!
