What is Ironline?
Ironline is a railway tycoon, made by John Nicholson. The store page pitches it like this: “Build a transport company across a living, changing country.”
Start in 1920 with a little money and an empty map. Lay track across the hills, put stations beside towns and works, buy trains and set them running, connecting a large number of industries and sectors. Every track changes the country around it: towns grow along your railways, mills start producing when coal arrives, and the land you connect fills with traffic.
Ironline is made by John Nicholson. It has not launched yet and no firm release date has been announced. It is listed on Steam for Windows. Modes on record: single-player.
