Sid Meier's Railroads demo to debut this week

Chugga, chugga, chugga...
3D Gamers and File Planet have announced that they will be co-premiering the demo for Firaxis' spiritual successor to Railroad Tycoon, Sid Meier's Railroads!.

The latest title in the tycoon genre will put players "in charge of building the greatest rail empire in the nation - managing trains, cargo and your bottom line - while engaging in all-out corporate warfare against rival tycoons, slick entrepreneurs, and robber barons."

- Scenario and map editor support – enables user-created maps and scenarios. Want to create a race to complete a transcontinental railroad in 30 years using only steam engines? No problem!
- We've got the goods – over 20 different goods to harvest, produce, and sell, and 30 unique industries, from lumber mills to war factories, each with detailed, unique animations.
- Multiplayer – Ruthless real-time LAN and Internet play. Engage in economic warfare and buy out your rivals!
- Something for everyone – build your dream train layout in train table mode, or challenge historical giants like Cornelius Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan, and others in single-player scenarios.
- It's all about the trains! – over 30 trains to use, from the primitive 0-4-0 Planet to the Super powerful 4-6-6-4 Challenger, from the classic diesels to ultra-modern bullet trains.

- Official Press Release

Blue's News is reporting that the demo will go live this Thursday (Friday Australian time).
