Building railways - problematic!

[cafka]

In my latest game, I've done pretty well, my empire consists of two continents (at least soon ), but I have a little problem. How to build railways?

I've researched steam power, and I've got iron, oil and lots of that stuff. But still, no "Build Railway"-button pops up in my "panel" when I place a worker anywhere on my continent...

I'll soon be in the Modern Age - without railways, unless you help. Critical sh*t, yeah.

Besides Iron you also need coal to build Railways.
If one of those is missing you aren´t able to build Railways (Oil-powered Trains aren´t implemented in the Game, only those Iron Horses which need Coal to function )

Yeah, building railroads is always hard for me becuase i just don't have the right resources, I have only had one game where i had both resources under my belt...other times I had to trade with other civs.
