Railway Empire 2: Bella Italia

Ciao Bella: From the snow-capped Alps in the north, along the Apennine Mountains, to the sun-soaked Gulf of Taranto, Railway Empire 2 – Bella Italia offers beautiful landscapes and spirited challenges. Uniquely Italian locomotives allow you to steam through any mission, be it economical or more… familial in nature, as you expand your railroad network set against the majestic backdrop of the Colosseum and ancient aqueducts.

Start your railway business in Rome and the Papal State, where waves of tourists await seamless connections to see the wonders of Antiquity. Down south, a different kind of challenge awaits as you discover the many branches of La Famiglia – and work to make yourself a name among them. Meanwhile, the north desperately needs help after a devastating war, with new railways required to fuel its financial recovery.
