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: 
ability to build tunnels and lack of Signal Towers.
An expansion pack, Railroad Tycoon II: Second Century, was later added which 
contained new scenarios that focused 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.

A short lived, budget title, named the Millennium Edition went on sale for 2000. 
It featured many scenarios and features of The Second Century', but had no map editor.
 It featured 6 scenarios from the original version, yet had no instruction booklet 
and was sold only in a jewel case.
