Mind your own business.
If you a rail or train enthusiast of any kind your might want to have a look at this KickStarter:

Trainz Simulator: A New Era

There is already a version of Trainz for Mac, but this looks like a real leap forward.

This is a quote from the FAQs

"Initially it will be PC only (Windows 7 and 8). There is a stretch goal listed to port to other hardware platforms which would result in a simultaneous release. Even without the stretch goal, we expect to port to Mac within 90 days of release and then Linux, SteamOS some time after that."

Do a search for 'Railroad Tycoon 3 Intel Cider Port' on google. Theres a 1.2GB DMG unofficially ported. It works very well but there is one graphical glitch - parts of opponents track sometimes goes invisible. But if your concentrating on your own railroad its no a big deal. Also you have to run it in a window or else it messes up graphically. Other than that its pretty solid.

New update for Mac users on the Trainz KickStarter.

in the FAQs

Will T2 be available on Mac?

Yes we will be creating a Mac version of Trainz: A New Era. This is currently scheduled for 90 days after the PC release. For information on how you can help speed up the delivery of the Mac version, please see the Senior Engineer - Mac reward tier.

You can still pledge at any other tier level and then select "Mac version" in your survey (this is sent out after the project completes on Kickstarter). These other tier pledges do not count towards the release date changes.

The Senior Engineer reward is like a mini-stretch goal for Mac users - we need 90 pledges to result in a near-same-day release.

You are able to change your existing reward by logging in and clicking on 'Manage My Pledge'.

Also of interest is update #10 where you can order customised objects such as street names.
