Draw train cards
Take two cards from the five face-up cards or the deck. A face-up locomotive is wild but counts as your whole draw.

Add-on · Cargo Rush
Give every route a purpose
Turn it on when you set the table. Deliveries create opportunities beyond your tickets, you shape the map’s economy together, and a pair of secret goals lets you surprise each other.
Public orders
Three orders are always face up, like “Steel → Chicago · 5”. Link any city that makes the good to the order’s city with your own routes and it’s yours the moment you claim. Longer hauls pay more—it’s a race, and everyone can see who is closest.
Boomtowns
Each player founds one Boomtown before the first turn, and every filled order grows its city a level. Orders to a Boomtown pay +2 per level. At the end each Boomtown pays 2× its level to the most routes touching it; a tie pays each the level.
Secret contracts
You’re dealt three private contracts—“Junction City,” “Long Haul,” “Coast to Coast”—and keep two. Each pays 6–10 points at the end if you finish it, and nothing is lost if you don’t.
New game mode · Last Lines
The railway can’t keep them all
The reverse game. Every line is already built and there are no train cards. Each turn you close a line for salvage, and everyone can see which lines you won’t let go.
Post a closure notice
On your turn, put a notice on any running line. It closes at the start of your next turn and pays you $1 per car. With two players you post two notices each turn.
Save one line a turn
Before a notice closes, any other player may pay 4× its salvage to save that line for good. You get one rescue a turn, so two notices on lines you need is a fork. A closed line can be restored for 6×.
Keep your tickets connected
Your tickets are secret. At the end each one scores its points if running lines still link its two cities, and loses them if not. Funds score nothing, except +10 for the richest railway.
