This is one of those oldies but goodies. My three sons and I used to play this game for hours at the beach. Players are given a small amount of money and let loose to build a railroad empire across North America. Trip cards are drawn that give players three options for picking up a specific kind of freight and where to deliver it in order to get paid. Of course the longer hauls pay more but you have to either have the rail lines or pay other rail barons to use their lines.

Each person is given a different color to actually draw his lines on the board. You have to be careful or you can get closed out of a major city and those disaster cards can cost you the game.
