I always thought this game was seemingly babyish, what, with its title and images of a map with train markers.  However, I played it the other day with a friend of mine and absolutely loved the game.  I was so wrong about my initial assumption, this is a very fun and thought-provoking game.  It requires strategy to complete your objectives, as well as requiring you think one step ahead of your opponent(s) so that if they happen to block your preferred path, you can still complete it with the most points while still saving the most amount of trains.  A very competitive game, and a HUGE board.  Seriously, the biggest board I ever had in a game.  Very fun game for the family, or for friends looking for a little bit of a different game than the traditional monopoly or life.  Seriously, get this game and you will not be disappointing.  Amazing and extremely fun game.  A little difficult to learn at first, but play one game just for fun and you will understand it, as that is how I learned; at first my head was exploding with all the information being thrown at me, but halfway through the first game, I was really grasping the rules.  One of my new, favorite games.  How much did I liked it?  I bought it the next day.
