Select two connected towns to survey a route. Leave cash for an engine.

How to start: connect Milwaukee to Chicago → buy a 4-4-0 → assign it to that route → advance a month. Freight demand changes with the seasons. Multiple engines share a route’s demand; idle engines still cost upkeep. This is a fictional scenario with simplified geography and historical equipment.
