Tracks may be deleted, even if a train is currently using it. Affected trains are set back to their origin city.
The maximum number of warehouses and parallel tracks allowed has been raised.
Setting the amount of wagons to maximum or minimum can now be done with one click.
If a station is deleted and a new station is placed at the position of the old station, trains that went to the old station will also travel to the new station. But only, if the new station was built 3-12 months after the old station was deleted depending on the duration of the game.

Fixes:

Fixed: Q and E keys had no function, when a non-rotatable building was selected.
Fixed: Show name of good in tooltip at freight station.
Fixed: Duplicate money type letter in localization, when player buys 100 % share of competitor.
Fixed: Set employees to state noticed, if hired with bulk hiring. Because of this, no star appeared in the train dialog at a personnel button, if there are no unnoticed personnel.
Fixed: Description was not updated, when train route was changed, while loading wares.
Fixed: Bug that occurred, when cloning trains, which had names ending with a number.
Fixed: Sometimes highlighting was broken when factories were deleted.

United States, 1830: ‘The New World’ is in its ascendancy. Industry is booming, and the race is on to establish the most dominant and powerful rail empire in all of North America. It’s time to outthink and outmaneuver your competitors as you lead your company into the 20th century!

In Railway Empire, you will create an elaborate and wide-ranging rail network, purchase over 40 different trains modelled in extraordinary detail, and buy or build railway stations, maintenance buildings, factories and tourist attractions to keep your travel network ahead of the competition. You’ll also need to hire and manage your workforce if you want to ensure an efficient train service, whilst also develop over 300 technologies ranging from mechanical improvements to the trains themselves to workplace infrastructures and advanced amenities as you progress through five eras of technological innovations.

However, you can’t just build and research your way to the top – the competition never sleeps, and to keep your business on track you’ll have to survive against up to three rival tycoons. To get to the top you may have to resort to more cutthroat tactics as you attack and sabotage your opponents through raids and industrial espionage.
