1870 is set in the trans-Mississippi river region of the United States. Each railroad has a destination. It is not necessary for the railroads to build to them, but doing so is beneficial to the company. This game introduces the new stock market rules for Share Redemption, Share Reissue and Share Price Protection. Companies may buy their own shares from players (with their permission) or the bank pool. The company then receives the dividends for these shares. These shares may be reissued to the market at a later time to raise funds for the company. A president of a company whose stock is sold has the option of immediately buying the stock and preventing the fall in value (if he has both the money to buy the shares and the space to hold them).Trains of type 10 and 12 first appear.
