This game was literally my childhood and I’m actually kinda tearing up at the moment because the plot of this intro is a lot like what happened to me…. I grew up loving trains and playing with model trains as a kid and whatnot… well, fast forward to adulthood… I am now a conductor at Amtrak!

Oh, can you hear the mournful cryin' That's soarin' through the summer breeze The haunted wailin' of a steam train It takes me back and sets my spirit free My parents died when I was just a boy They sent me to my aunt in Tennessee But in those hills I stumbled on a railroad I knew right then it was the life for me I still can hear the steam escapin' And see the mighty men who made her go And if you scroll further down, you'll find the rest: The smoke and fire hung in the air and called out to my soul Pointin' to the path I had to go The gleamin' of the engine has took my breath away Folks board the train to head on down the line All the sights, all the sounds were like a siren call Come away, come see what you might find (Interlude) Now that I am so much older The heartache and the pain has surely changed But now, my blood is of the railroad It's got my heart and courses through my veins

Compare this with the intro for the reboot, Sid Meier's Railroads. Sure, the render and effects are better, but there are no story, and the animation feels cheap. This thing? It feels like the devs really put effort into it. It has personality. I miss that. I want an RT4 that builds on RT3. No. What I really want, is a remaster of RT3. Bring the graphics up to modern standards, maybe fix some of the weird quirks of the gameplay.

The smoke and fire hung in the air and called out to my soul, Pointing to the path I had to go.

Oh, can you hear the mournful crying, That's soaring through the Summer Breeze, The haunted wailing of a steam train, It takes me back and sets my spirit free. My parents died when I was just a boy, They sent me to my aunt in Tennessee. (But?)In those hills I stumbled on a railroad, I knew right then it was the life for me. I still can hear the steam escapin', and see the mighty men who made her go.
