Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon - Play Online

I loved playing this game on our Mac back when I was a teen in the early nineties. Back then you had to switch between a couple disks during game play. Raildude's instructions for laying track work great for me playing with the browser on my hp computer. If I load the game with the number lock on, I can't lay track. It I start with the number lock off, and press it after the game loads, I can lay track by just using my number keypad. Laying double track is easy, just press shift and D. The sounds that comes out of my computer are distorted, nothing like the original sounds I can still hear in my mind.

Is there a way to lay down double track?

To build tracks you need to have your your Numlock OFF, then click START at the top, press options 1-2-1 for graphics, sound and keyboard+mouse. Start a new game. When you want to build click F4 to go to detail view, Numlock ON, place the cursor where you want to build the track and use numeric keypad to build the track in the direction you want.
*** Do not press Shift+keypad numbers ***

It says it failed to load, is that a problem just for me or other people have it to!

I can't build a track ? it's easy,
Enter the game, enter the map, and press the esc key to jump back to windows.
Press the ctrl key + the shift key twice to confirm entering the language conversion mode (I use Chinese phonetic notation)
Press Numlock to change to numeric mode first
Return to the map, press Numlock again, and use the nine-square numbers on the right to build rail tracks

I can't build a track. What a shame!

Oh Dear..... Full screen adverts now seem to have broken it. Can't play anymore.

Run it in DOSBox. Everything works there. Download the preinstalled version. DOSBox is a bit of work, but if you read the help and info screens, you can do it. GL and enjoy this wonderful old game. I spent many happy hours with this back when. None of the later versions comes close IMO.

Shift S to build track not working

I loved this game in the past. Can't build track!!!! Why make an unusable game "accessible". Is anyone actually able to play this?

I really loved this game (in the long past) and have tried most everything. But track building (even on tutorial) just doesn't seem to work. I don't know if the "space" key isn't recognized any more. No other combination of keys and directions seems to make it work. The rest seems fine (ok, no idea how building trains, stations, signal towers, consists etc are) but....... this is a link to the "technical manual" from the old game.
Seems legit site without viruses. https://ia601004.us.archive.org/4/items/railroadtycoonmanual/RailroadTycoon-TechnicalSupplement.pdf

CAN'T BUILD TRACK, SHIFT AND NUMBERPAD DOESNT WORK

how do i build tracks i dont know how

Are there key commands? I don't remember, and I can't find any.

Numeric keypad can work, just press 'ESC' key out, and use Numeric key , then go back.

Numeric keypad doesn't seem to work on Mac. Impossible to build rail.

try rails.bat to start it

I have tried all online executable, but none worked, need advise
