Gameplay
Railroad Tycoon II is a railroad simulation that covers the history of railroads from the late 1700s to the 2000s. The player assumes the role of the chairman in a railroad company, trying to make profits for the investors (often but not necessarily including the player themselves) and completing various other objectives while being hindered by rival companies, train breakdowns and train robbers.

Most of the gameplay consists of building tracks, stations and trains, which are used for hauling goods from one station to another. Money received from hauling is determined by the distance between the starting and termination stations, the demand and value of the delivered goods, station improvements and the difficulty level. The expenses include the fuel, track and engine maintenance and management fee. The fuel cost depends on the cargo weight and the distance each engine runs. Engine maintenance depends on engine age and the engine's type, some trains cost more to maintain than others. The elder engines cost more to keep them on the line. The track maintenance is solely calculated from track mileage.

The player will determine what kind of cargo and how many of them should be delivered in both go and return run along the stations set up by the player. There are many industries in the game, which will convert specific cargo into another. For example, if the player supply a steel mill 3 cargo of iron and 3 cargo of coal, it will produce 6 cargo of steel. The players are encouraged to find a chain of production to make new cargo by hauling the right type of cargo to each step of the industries. By doing this right, the player can "create" a lot of cargo to make money from, and make the company more and more profitable.

The more important part of the game play is financial management of companies, including issue bonds, share repurchases, stock issues, manipulating dividends, merge other company and declare bankruptcy. These features can be very useful in some scenarios and could destroy the opponent or make great deal of money for the player himself under the master's hands.

Managing the players' own wealth is also an important part of the game play. The player can buy or sell any companies' stocks when he figures the stock prices are too low or too high. The broker may allow the player to buy on margin or short sell stocks if he has enough value of stocks or cash to rely on. The computer players, as the player's opponents, can also do these. They may bankrupt the player when he is heavily in debt.

The game also simulate a real world economy environment. The economy may fluctuate during the game play. There are 5 levels of economy: Booming, Prosperity, Normal, Recession and Depression. When the economy is good, the revenue of the hauled goods and the stock prices will be higher. However, along with the goods and the stock prices surging, the railroad companies will have to pay more to build tracks when the economy is booming. The interest rate will also be adjusted with the economy level, including the interest received from cash and the interest paid for the bonds. The better the economy is, the lower the interest rate is.
