The "Rails to the North" expansion for "Great Western Trail" (2nd Edition) extends the rail network northward, opening up entirely new options. Cattle can now be transported across the border, allowing access to more cities. To fully take advantage of the opportunities in the north, the establishment of numerous branches is necessary, which provide delivery options or bonuses. The "Rails to the North" expansion requires the base game "Great Western Trail" (2nd Edition) to play. Note: This expansion is only compatible with the second edition of "Great Western Trail.".
