Overview

Who will become the first Rail Baron of England?

Mid-19th century England... the tramways that first appeared to transport coal have since been upgraded to railways. Numerous different companies using different railway gauges connected to villages, towns and cities across the country. Eventually the small companies were merged into the Big Four.
