The player is the president of a railway company that lays tracks, runs trains, and transports people from station to station. This flow of people gradually changes the areas around the stations, and before long a city forms and grows centered around these stations. Skyscrapers and department stores are built in front of the stations, and the city grows larger; if the number of station users increases, so does the number of rail users. With the income obtained, the player can maintain a rail network and create subsidiaries to build residential areas and entertainment facilities along the railway, and by breaking into the operation of other types of transport such as buses and trucks, the overall map can grow into a metropolis.
