Same here, I have playing it here and there.. when I am not running my train sims, so far I really like it. I played railroad tycoon 3 a lot, and I really like this one better.

I was playing it on and off all weekend. Its ok. Its quite simple, and from what I've seen, it can be a good game or a bad game, all based on your starting location vs your opponents. I wish there were no starting locations. I mean, why if your goal is to get from NY to Washington would you start in Harrisburg....
