I want to thank JayEff for posting this scenario. I have enjoyed playing it. It is based on Henry Flagler's efforts to build railroads along the east coast of Florida, culminating in a RR from Miami to Key West, a century ago. I found it interesting because I have spent a lot of time in the Keys. It has a few glitches. One is that one cannot "see" the buildings in the west part of Key West, but you can play around that. Another is that, until about 1910, it is permanently set on Boom economic conditions, regardless of what the newspapers say the economic news is; this, of course, makes for happy RR building. It is a straight forward RR building scenario; no industries or stock market. If you concentrate on moving passengers to Key West (the second medal criterion) before connecting to Miami, you will be successful, like Mr. Flagler. BTW, the game says it was developed by "Edward Ford." I sent him an e mail thanking him for his creativity, but heard no response. THanks again to JayEff for posting this. Cheers. Stoneman.
