Railroad tycoon 3 is actually pretty close to what you're after. It's extremely simulationist relative to the other games in the genre.
Building railroads through places actively improves their economy, and this is an important part of the game strategy.
Also ISTR one of the later scenarios involves picking one of the major london railroads to play in the late 19th century. I have fond memories of my time as head of the great western railway.
