Welcome to the Transport Tycoon Wiki. This wiki aims to be the one stop for TTD players, veteran and beginner alike. It will eventually contain guides to the smallest things, such as building your first railway line, and purchasing your first locomotive. That's the theory at least - it's still quite the work in progress!
