| Players | 2 to 5 Rules say 2 to 6, but the starting money and certificate limit table on the map only goes up to 5 players |
This game was published in Mainline magazine, Issue 2.
The game has no tiles, because track is drawn directly on the map.
This game requires some of the components from an 1830 set.
The component table lists the items from the magazine and the items required from a copy
of 1830.

| Game Map | Clear Hexes | 1 Town | 2 Towns |
Cities | 'OO' | Off-Board Areas | Fixed | Passengers | Mountains |
| Hexes: 79 | 29 | - | - | 12 | - | 6 | - | 38 | 14 |
| The total count of individual items will usually exceed the total number of hexes shown. This will be due to hexes that contain multiple items, such as towns and cities in off-board areas and fixed locations. | |
| Clear | Where tiles with plain track may be laid. May include hexes with pre-printed track. |
| 1 Town | Where tiles with a single town (no station token space) may be laid. |
| 2 Towns | Where tiles with two towns (no station token spaces) may be laid. |
| Cities | Where tiles with station token spaces may be laid, or where stations printed on the board may be upgraded. Does not include 'OO' hexes. |
| 'OO' | Yellow hexes where green tiles designated as 'OO' tiles with two separate station token spaces may be laid. |
| Off-Board | Static, where trains may run to off-board areas, typically with values that vary according to the phase of the game. Usually includes fixed locations that have variable income. No tile lays allowed. An off-board area may consist of more than one hex - each area is usually counted only once for each train. |
| Fixed | Static, usually with track or fixed value stations printed on the map. No tile lays allowed. |
| Rivers and Mountains |
Hexes that contain these features with a cost to place or upgrade tiles. Other features appear occasionally (Desert, Forest, Swamp). |
