I was able to successfully install Railroad Tycoon II Gold Edition in a Win98 bottle on the following machine:
Soyo SY-7ISA+ Intel i815 Motherboard
Intel Pentium III 866 MHz Processor
512 MB SDRAM
PNY Verto GeForce FX 5200 AGP 8x 256 MB DDR
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 PCI Sound Card (SB0220)
Samsung CD-RW/DVD Drive Model: TS-H492A/RSWN
Dual Boot openSUSE Linux 10.3/Windows XP Pro SP3
CodeWeavers CrossOver Games for Linux Version 7.1.2
Desktop Resolution: 1024x768, 24-bit color
The opening cinematics play, but are not rendered entirely correctly.
I am unable to play the Athearn Trains video in the main launcher menu.
I played part of the tutorial scenario. Sound plays properly, although there is no in-game music. Graphics seem to work properly. It seems to be necessary to NOT use a virtual desktop on my system, or even attempt to use one, otherwise the game crashes to the desktop when Play is selected in the main launcher menu. This problem may be a matter of matching desktop resolution and virtual desktop resolution, but I haven't taken the time to try the different possibilities.
