The deluxe version of Railroad Tycoon adds VGA graphics and new continents South America and Africa, and 11 new trains. It also adds new historical periods: two more for the Eastern and Western United States, and one more for Europe. It takes into account drastically falling stock prices to improve the depth of the economic model. Train Bandits were included in the North American scenarios, which attempt to prey on mail cargoes.
