A sequel featuring improved graphics and more complex gameplay, Railroad Tycoon II, was published by Gathering of Developers in 1998 after PopTop Software acquired rights to the name.

Some features of the first version are missing in this sequel, such as the ability to build tunnels and Signal Towers. The Dreamcast version was in full 3D.

An expansion pack, Railroad Tycoon II: Second Century, was later added, which contained new scenarios focusing on modern and near-future times.
The game and its expansion were repackaged together in the Gold Edition and then, with additional user-made scenarios, the Platinum Edition.

GLITCHES

Teleporting cargos

Pause game play, create two connecting stations, and put a new train into service. For this new train, put consists that is provided by station "A" that is wanted by station "B". In addition, put enough consists so the train will be waiting at the station and display "waiting for cargo." One good way is to put a consists that is not provided by station "A". Make sure the train schedule contains a destination for the train to go to. Resume game play. The train should load up the consists and go into "waiting for cargo" status. Double-click on the train to bring up the "Train Detail" screen. Click and enable the "arrow" on "Next Destination" so the train will begin its trek to the next scheduled destination. Now double click that next destination to bring up the car-consist list box and change the car consist - add or delete, it does not matter. When you click "OK" to finish car-consist editing, you should hear an unexpected money-inducing "ka-ching!" The consist should gray-out to show the cargo has been delivered. If this is trans-country, the mandatory customs period will pass before you see the profit. If you click "Exit" from the train detail screen and go back to overland screen, you will note the train is still at station "A" - yet the cargo has been delivered and the profit has been calculated. By using this technique, you can get the profit without the train actually running through the route. This trick is especially helpful if the stations are distanced far apart, or have natural obstacle (ocean or mountain) between them.

Here is the game intro:
