In Railroads Online, you are invited to develop your very own railroads by exploring fascinating sandbox open worlds. As a railway pioneer, your goal is to connect industrial chains with rail networks, transporting goods and raw materials across diverse terrains. The unique topography and allocation of industries of each environment require careful planning, both in construction and navigation and are showcased in detail in today’s trailer:

- Pine Valley embodies the vast and untamed beauty of the North American wilderness during the early railway era. Its lush forests, towering mountains, and deep canyons create a diverse and challenging landscape for aspiring railroad builders.
- Lake Valley is also inspired by North American scenery, features iconic mountain ranges and a sprawling lake at the heart of the map. This central landmark plays a significant role in shaping your railway network.
- Aurora Falls offers a breathtaking winter wonderland. Snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear mountain lakes, and dense coniferous forests define this frosty environment, complete with the magical glow of the aurora borealis.
A brand-new map has been presented in the new trailer: Mesa Plains delivers a fresh, arid desert setting where players travel through vast desert plains, narrow canyons and along a stunning shoreline. A major highlight of this map is the unique integration of pre-placed tunnels and a pier for unloading goods. Mesa Plains will launch alongside the full PC version on Steam, with console players receiving the map in a future patch.
