Introduction of the stations in the game package

There is one station in the game trial version: Mount Clare Station

Mount Clare is considered to be a birthplace of American railroading, as the site of the first regular railroad passenger service in the U.S., beginning on May 22, 1830. It was also from this site that the first telegraph message, “What hath God wrought?” was sent on May 24, 1844, to Washington, D.C., using Samuel F. B. Morse’s invention.

There are two additional stations in the full package: Baltimore Penn and Philadelphia 30th Street Station. These two stations increase the complexity of your dispatching work.

Pennsylvania Station (generally referred to as Penn Station) is the main train station in Baltimore, Maryland. It was constructed in 1911 in the Beaux-Arts style of architecture for the Pennsylvania Railroad. It is located at 1515 N. Charles Street, on a raised "island" of sorts between two open trenches, one for the Jones Falls Expressway and the other the tracks of the Northeast Corridor. Penn Station is the eighth busiest rail station in the United States by number of passengers served.

30th Street Station is the main railroad station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Trains from SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority), Amtrak, and NJT (New Jersey Transit) serve this station. The growing number of passengers makes it the 3rd busiest Amtrak station in the system. The station has two levels: The three east-west Upper Level platforms serve SEPTA Regional Rail suburban trains. The north-south Lower Level platforms serve Amtrak and New Jersey Transit trains.

    Game design : US signals are generally placed on the right side of the locomotive’s direction. Those familiar with US practice may be confused with the game design

    Game mechanics : In US practice, Freight movements may leave a station prior to schedule at the choice of the dispatcher, however passenger traffic should never leave ( or request dispatch ) prior to schedule. I suggest that freight be given an option to delay until scheduled and passenger trains never ask to depart before schedule.
