Clearly you folks haven't tried playing A-Train, a Japanese train tycoon game...

Seriously though, try it out! It's actually one of the best games I've ever played. I'd even say that it's so underrated.

It's a train tycoon game, but also silently focuses on being a real estate simulator, just like how a lot of Japanese companies don't make money primarily on train tickets, but instead real estate or other non-farebox income.

one of my favourite games ever was "railroad tycoon 2"; it was not a particularly deep railway simulator, but it was a superbly immersive treatment of "railroads helped settle a continent". few games achieved that sort of immersive feeling for me, civ 1 and stellaris are the other ones that come to mind.
