Notes

  1. Railway Companies can purchase Private Companies.
  2. Private Companies are closed.
  3. The CGR is started, if at all. Train limit of the CGR is 3
  4. Small cities may be upgraded / downgraded.
  5. Discard Great Lakes Shipping Company Token.
  6. Diesel "D" Trains may be purchased as soon as the first "6" Train has been bought.
  7. A "4", "5" or "6" Train may be traded in for a "D" Train. A trade in gives the $350 discount (i.e. $750 instead of $1100).

  8. The owning Railway Company may place a free station marker on either city on the Kitchener hex if a space is available. The Company may also place a green #59 tile in the Kitchener hex if it has not already been placed. Both actions are in place of the of the Railway Company's normal tile and/or token placement. The Company need not be able to trace a legal train route to place the tile or station marker. The Private Company is closed at the end of the OR turn that the owning Railway Company performs either action.
  9. During its OR, the owning Railway Company may place a track tile in the hex occupied by this Private Company. This track lay is in addition to the Railway Company's normal track lay. The Company need not be able to trace a legal train route to place the tile. This action does not close the Private Company.
  10. At any time during its OR, the owning Railway Company may place the port token in any one city adjacent to Lake Erie, Lake Huron or Georgian Bay. These cities are marked with an anchor symbol. The port token raises the value of that city by $20 for the owning Railway Company. Once placed, the port token may not be moved. This port token, if placed, is removed when the first "6" train is purchased. Placement of this token closes the Private Company.
  11. The owning Railway Company may add the $10 bonus when running to Buffalo. Other Railway Companies may purchase the right to use this bonus by paying $50 to the owning Company. This right may not be purchased if the Private Company is owned by a player. The right may be purchased from the Bank for $50 after the Private Company closes. Companies that have gained this right never lose it. The CGR gains this right if any of its forming Companies had this right.
  12. The owning Railway Company may add the $10 Port Huron bonus when running to Sarina. Other Railway Companies may purchase the right to use this bonus by paying $50 to the owning Company. This right may not be purchased if the Private Company is owned by a player. The right may be purchased from the Bank for $50 after the Private Company closes. Companies that have gained this right never lose it. The CGR gains this right if any of its forming Companies had this right.
