2K Games have made the original Railroad Tycoon Deluxe (1993) available for download at their site now:

(click "downloads" at the bottom of that page)
I played the original game a lot, so it was a pleasant surprise to find this classic available again..
You can play it in both windowed and full screen mode, but don't expect any state-of-the-art graphics there since it still uses the original graphics.
Nice eh??
Quote:
Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon is an economic simulation and computer strategy game. There are four versions; the original Railroad Tycoon (1990), Railroad Tycoon II (1998), Railroad Tycoon 3 (2003), and Sid Meier's Railroads! (2006).
Railroad Tycoon was written by game designer Sid Meier and published by MicroProse and though it shares the "Tycoon" suffix, it is entirely unrelated to other Microprose games such as RollerCoaster Tycoon and Transport Tycoon, which were developed by British programmer Chris Sawyer.
Objective
The objective of the game is to build and manage a railroad company, including laying track, building stations, and buying and scheduling trains. The game models supply and demand of goods and passengers as well as a miniature stock market on which players can buy and sell stock of their own or competing companies.
