Tips & Strategies
- Start with simple point-to-point connections before building complex networks
- Consider the terrain when planning routes - tunnels and bridges are expensive
- Balance train frequency with passenger demand to maximize efficiency
- Upgrade busy stations before expanding to new areas
- Use express trains for long routes and local trains for shorter connections
- Don't neglect maintenance - broken down trains cause delays and lost revenue
- In early stages, focus on profitable routes between major cities
