1867 is an 18xx game that is an expansion to 1861: Railways of the Russian Empire, set in Canada. It is essentially "1861 on a new map." The map represents the central part of Canada, consisting of the southern part of the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.

The key new features are: a) There are no fixed positions for the minor companies, you choose a start position when you put up a minor for auction. b) The State Railway doesn't run its trains and save up for another, but rather just takes the next new train each round. This speeds up the game a little in comparison to 1861, and also accelerates the trains somewhat.

In 2017, this expansion was released as a stand-alone game: 1867: The Railways of Canada.
