TRAIN OPERATIONS Subsystem
You will be asked to select the number of the train that you want to move.
In this mode you can move your train, switch railroads, and schedule freight
deliveries.

MOVE COMMANDS:
2,4,6,8 : To move the train along selected rails in directions per the numeric
key pad (assuming train is at '5').  You can only move along a railroad.  When
you attempt to pass a train on the same rails as yours you may be delayed while
waiting for the other train.

At the start your #1 train is in the roundhouse of your home city.  To move it
you must select to switch it onto the rails of a private railroad connecting to
your home city.  When you attempt to move, a window will appear asking you for
switching orders.  Select one of the rail lines in order to move.

SWITCH OPTION:
If you press any other key (or Enter) the window is erased and your move is
canceled.  You may at this time order your train to move again in any direction
or you may exit the move option. When you select a railroad to switch to you
must pay a switching fee.  If the bank owns the railroad this fee is only
$400,000.  If another player owns the railroad you must pay a variable fee from
$400,000 to $1,200,00 which goes to that player's railroad.
Once a player pays to switch to a railroad he is entitled to travel a minimum of
12 spaces (14 for an express, 16 for a super express) free of charge.  If he
travels more he must pay a user fee.  This fee is $100,000 if the bank owns the
railroad or $200,000 if another player owns the railroad.  This fee is not
always transferred into the owner's treasury.  Some of it is used to pay for
maintenance on the rails.  A player does not pay to switch to his own railroad
but he must still pay a user fee even on his own railroads.

Once all railroads are (or have been) owned by players all fees are increased
by 50%.  Players can set the switching fees with a predefined range.

S: Schedule Delivery of Products.
   In order to make money with trains you must freight cargo from one city to
   to another.  When a train arrives in any city and does not have a schedule it
   may select this option.  If there are none that day the train must move to
   another city before it can get a schedule.  A window of several cargos and
   their destinations are presented to the operator.  The amount of revenue for
   prompt delivery is also posted.   As well as due date and time of the ship-
   ment.  If the arrival is up to a day late 25% is deducted.  If later than
   that 50% is deducted.  If arrival is a day early there may be a bonus.
   Only one of the cargo/destinations can be selected. If the operator does not
   want any of the destination choices press EXIT and return to Train Operations
   Subsystem.  To choose another set of cargo/destinations the train must be
   moved to another city.

   Special Delivery.
   This is a high priority shipment that will pay a very high revenue when
   delivered.  Notice of the pending shipment is given within 36 hours of the
   normal scheduled shipping time.  If you arrive at the designated shipping
   point at least 24 hours before the due day then this product will be item
   number one of the shipping list.

X: Express Highball.  (Registered Option)
   Train will move along the current railroad rail line for up to 12 spaces or
   until a city or a fork in the line is encountered.  Before choosing this
   option the train must have moved at least once in the required direction.
   To assist in this use a signal light will appear in a small dark area above
   the command input area.  If the light is red you must move at least once in
   one direction.

There are three types of trains:

~1
               Freight - This is the slowest train.  Average speed is 45 mph.

~2
               Express - This is a faster train.  Average speed is 60 mph.

~3
               Super Express - This is the fastest train.  This train will have
               an individual name (Super Chief, Zephyr, etc.) for different
               railroads. (Available on registered games)

O: Overlay Map
   This will ask the player to select a railroad by number or abbr.
   As a reminder in the center of the Information Box will be listed the abbr.
   names of the last switching options.  When a railroad is selected the rails
   will be shown on the map.
