This is a great game. I should revisit it. 

There is an excellent book called 'The Official Guide to Railroad Tycoon'
by Russell Sipe (ISBN 0-87455-244-3) which begins where the manual leaves
off. I found it very helpful - don't know if it is still available,
though. The address of the publisher shown in my copy is COMPUTE Books 324
West Wendover Avenue, Suite 200 , Greensboro, North Carolina 27408.
