This thread has been linked to the game 'Transport Tycoon'.
I'm not sure if anybodies every played Transport Tycoon before? but it would appear Christopher is re-releasing this game, with a vast amount of upgrades.
Basically, on Transport Tycoon, you are in a pre-created world (there is the option to make your own map) and you create transport. You can't design the vehicals (but when you see the shots, you'll see why this doesn't matter), but you create a track layout and basically do stuff to earn money. For example, you could build a passenger train from one town to another, or you could build a vehical road from the coal mine, to the electricty station and earn money that way. It's a really fun, great game that'll have you hooked for hours.
Anyway, I'm not sure if Locomotion is the same, however judging from these screenshots (I've included them below) I'm pretty sure it's just Transport Tycoon updated.
There is no information about the game yet, however there are 5 screen shots. I for one will be getting this game, as you cannot play the original on Windows XP.
By the way, if you've never played this before, another games created by Chris Sawyer is Rollercoaster Tycoon (All 3 games + add-on packs).
Here are some screenshots from Locomotion:

Also, judging by those screenshots the following changes have been made from Transport Tycoon:
- Much more detail on buildings/objects.
- Ability to create bus stops on streets, rather than a large bus station.
- Trams.
- Realistic airports.
- Graphical passengers at stations.
- Companies are ranked.

I played Multiplayer last night!
I won with a score of 5.8, beating my mate who finished with 5.7. I won after 4 months, when my train and tram networks transported 500 passengers.

I also adored TT, and this is more of the same - and better.

I hope an add-on lets you replace all vehicles with a touch of a button.

Absolutely, just so long as you're not expecting anything vastly new. It plays almost exactly the same as the original.

You can choose to continue playing the maps once the mission objective has been achieved, so there are missions and there's still free-play.
