Hidden gem. Nice challenge balancing making money, completing jobs on time, keeping the train up to date (including weapons!), having the right crew, etc. I LOVE it (especially when I set combat to easy; THAT is the most annoying aspect to the game), and to me it strikes the right chord of being interesting and fun, with enough variables to get you involved but not SO much you're mind-numbingly managing minutiae. (I actually wish I could find more games that strikes this right balance. Their new game, Railroad Corporation, fumbles it somewhat to me.)
For the current price of one whole US dollar I'd say it's DEFINITELY a great bang for your buck.

This is a game short for money, and you will be very busy making it at least in the beginning few hours. Aborigine, bandits, the private investigator and main quests ask you for money. Contracts penalize you for money if you fail. And you will need money after encountering the train damaged issues now and then.....
These features make the money significant in this game, so making money becomes me feel great. Additionally, the time sensitive design is gutsy, because many players don't like it. But this game doesn't serve us as the game has to babysit its customers. The game is somewhat intense and you need to schedule your time and routes carefully. And because of this, it adds some immersive feeling in this Civil War experience. And guess what? Because of this game I understand many US cities for their geographic positions, industries and significance in Civil War.
It's very hard to decide to give this game a thumb up or down when I was not familiar with all mechanisms, because this game has some different UI style than other games, and bugs. As I get familiar with all UI and came up with all solutions for bugs, all left is pleasant experience.
Optimization Bug: As the game progress, you will encounter the lag whenever you click something.
Solution: dump all finished (and failed) quests.
UI difficulty: How to load crew members and passengers once you unloaded them?
Solution: left click one of them and right click position you want to load to.

A fun game, though, there are some things that could be different, example, why can't you buy a Henry rifle

60% - Just about a thumbs up from me and only because I picked it up cheap. Some fun elements to this one but it can also be very frustrating. Deadlines. Limited train capacity. Reputations. Don`t pay full price on this one

It's a great game for the price, and, frankly, is the only game that I not only did not "Ignore" from the studio, but have actually bought and love.
That is a real endorsement.

You’re in charge of a train, hauling cargo, dodging bandits, and making tough decisions—all while trying to keep your crew alive and your train on track. It’s a fun mix of strategy and action with just enough chaos to keep you on your toes.
If you like trains, outlaws, and stressful decision-making, this one’s for you!

Trading from town to town with your own train and shooting up bandits on the way, what else is there in life?
