Perhaps you'd like a train sim for your cell phone?

They're not here yet, but stay tuned. RedbossGames is working on Train Tycoon. According to www.tycoonez.com, the game is licensed by Chris Sawyer, creator of Transport Tycoon, Locomotion, and Rollercoaster Tycoon. The screen shots bear a strong resemblace to Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

I seldom use my cell phone, but this could change everything.
