This looks exactly like OpenTTD

Of course! TTD and Locomotion were developed by the same person. From my understanding Locomotion is closer to the Roller Coaster Tycoon engine and UI. Also I think I remember reading an interview in which Chris Sawyer said Locomotion had the cleanest code out of the three.

On that note, considering the original engines are similar I wonder if OpenRCT2 and OpenLoco have any big similarities in the code base as well...

Probably! From the About OpenLoco page:

The OpenLoco project started in early 2018 by the same group of people behind OpenRCT2.
