If you are running Linux, it seems to work well with Proton, though I didn't check it myself: https://www.protondb.com/app/7620

    I've recently been running it via Proton on Linux, and it runs quite smoothly.

    (Haven't tried any multiplayer on it though; the game is old enough that networking doesn't automatically mean "use TCP/UDP/IP," so I can see that stumbling bad on modern OSes.)

    I've played 100s of hours of if under Proton on Linux. Works great.

The Linux version would almost certainly not run on any current Linux. I have a vague memory of trying to run the demo nearly 20 years ago and it failing due to requiring some now-deprecated X11 extension. If you want to try, the Internet Archive does have a Loki software demo CD, which includes Railroad Tycoon 2: https://archive.org/details/linux-games-cd
