Design Your Own Railroad is a 1990 video game published by Abracadata.

Gameplay

[edit]

Design Your Own Railroad is a game in which a railroad hobbyist can build a model railroad and run simulations.[2]

Development

[edit]

The game was developed by Abracadata, a company based in Eugene, Oregon.[3][4] Dill Software wrote the game for IBM compatible computers.[5]

Reception

[edit]

Russell Sipe reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "In summary, if you are a model railroader/rail fan you will find this product a very enjoyable extension of your chosen hobby (but be sure to get version 1.2 or later). Non-railroaders (even if they enjoyed Railroad Tycoon) will either find themselves drawn into the world of model railroading by DYORR, or find themselves bored stiff. As for me, I love it."[2]
