Computer Gaming World said "3D Railroad Master has an unfinished and bug-ridden feel. Nearly every menu has text disappearing, missing buttons, and misaligned entries. The layouts are loaded in two steps, and this can take anywhere from 30 seconds to more than a minute. The game’s problems might be tolerable if the program were in any way enjoyable"[5]
Computer Games Magazine said "The game's greatest weakness may be its "legs"-once you've played through the 20 missions, that's pretty much it; you can adjust the schedules in missions to create new situations, but if you want all-new layouts you have to get 3D Railroad Concept and Design-and at nearly $100 retail on top of the $60 retail you may have already paid, that's an investment only a robber baron could appreciate"[6]
