Reception
Bob Proctor reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Rails West has the high-quality components one expects from SSI. It is lots of fun when all of the players are humans, even if they're inexperienced. It would make an excellent classroom exercise in the hands of a competent teacher." The game sold 7,000 copies.
