Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Made by Chris Sawyer of RollerCoaster Tycoon fame and released in 2004, Chris Sawyer's Locomotion is the Spiritual Successor to Transport Tycoon. The player is cast as a transportation manager in various locations. Via road, rail, sea, and/or air, the player is given the objective to build a transportation empire that spans the map. Provide the supply, meet the demand, make money, and prove yourself a transportation tycoon.As this is the Spiritual Successor toTransport Tycoon, many of the tropes that apply to that game also apply to this one.

Added Alliterative Appeal: Scenario names that aren't of the "Region name - Starting Year" variety make use of this. At least one prominent feature of the map is usually covered. "Oil Oasis" is a desert map filled with oil wells and an objective involving oil transportation. "Race to Read" has the transportation of paper as its objective. "Vapid Volcano" is a volcano-shaped map. "Vache and Vineyards" features lots of livestock farms ("Vache" is French for "cows") and vineyards. "Boulder Breakers" is a small island map with only three cities and four industries. "Bottleneck Blues" features a large mountain range with a small passage going through it. "Clifftop Climb" is split by in two by way of a very large, abrupt elevation difference.

An Entrepreneur Is You: You buy vehicles to make a profit by transporting goods, passengers and a lot of other things as well. This game takes it a bit further, however, in that supply and demand allows you to speed up city growth, and you can create roadways and raise and lower land to affect where new houses and buildings are placed as the city grows. Though you only control the transit companies, a player that does a good job of it can also serve as an urban planner in this way.

Acceptable Break from Reality: Events such as The Great Depression, World War II or the 1970s oil crisis are not simulated by the game.
