I can't see any reference to railways in Marbozir's guide to the tech and civic trees. Do we have any info yet from any of the videos about how railways are unlocked and function in Civ6?
Our current info is:
There are no railroads.
in the techtree shown in this thread is a icon for railways at steampower, is this techtree from an old version?

Spoiler :
Where is this info coming from?Well if they have a version of roads each few eras....
Ancient (1 mp all terrain)
Medieval (with bridges)
Industrial (railroad graphics...0.75 MP per tile)?0.5 mp with coal?
Atomic (highway graphics...0.5 MP per tile)?0.25 mp with oil?
Maybe railroads are being saved for an expansion. What if we can own different rail companies... *dun, dun, dun*
My understanding is there is a number of road upgrades; however, I was hoping railroads would be one of them. If nothing else they should be in the game since railroads have been in every Civ game since the beginning and they were a major part of history. It would be sad to lose them.
Our current info is:
There are no railroads.
We've seen it before in older versions. We've also seen tooltips concerning modern roads, industrial roads etc. They've all gone in the YouTuber version.
I haven't payed attention to roads enough in the LPs to see if they upgrade automatically at some point and when that point is. I would have guessed it is in the tooltips though.
Edit: roads automatically upgrade once you research the first tech of a new era. That's why there is no tooltip. Not sure how railroads come into this. Maybe they are gone or maybe they are just a road upgrade at some point.
