Hardy pioneers are building towns & cities as they raise cattle and grow wheat & other crops. The railroads are needed to carry this bounty to the hungry East.

The ability to react to organically growing markets increasing constantly adds a level of decision making where recognizing savvy opportunities is a key to success.
