Plunge into the pounding heart of the Industrial Revolution in Railway Empire 2 – Industrial Wonders. Spearheaded by the steam locomotive, this era unleashed a wave of productivity and innovation, enabling complex supply chains and monumental construction projects that had previously been unimaginable. In Germany, the Ruhr Valley emerged as the powerhouse of industrialisation, where coal mines, steelworks, and railroads formed a vast, interconnected web of progress. Meanwhile, France prepared to crown the 1889 World’s Fair with the Eiffel Tower – a striking symbol of modern engineering. And in 1931, the United States began work on the Hoover Dam, a colossal concrete feat built with daring new techniques.
In Industrial Wonders, your railway company flourishes at the center of these transformative projects. Establish your own production facilities and build efficient railroad connections to fuel regional development and enable the construction of engineering marvels. A more intricate production system, featuring variable outputs and input goods per factory, adds new depth and complexity. If you manage to keep everything on track, you’ll witness some of history’s most iconic structures rise to industrial glory — one trainload at a time.
