MAP DETAILS

Choose this to open the Map Details window, where the pull-down menus provide a wide variety of information and statistics about the map. For example, the City, Value Report lists map cities in approximately the order of frequency with which they are served/connected by the game winner's rail network.

FIND BEST TRIP

Choose this to have EBP calculate what it deems to be the best sequence of pick up and delivery trips for a given group of contracts. This calculation is the same that EBP's AI players employ.

Use this and enter a milepost, city or load name to highlight it on the map.

FIND CITY

Displays an alphabetized list of cities; click one to highlight it on the map.

FIND LOADS

Displays an alphabetized list of loads; click one to highlight on the map the cities that supply it.

RAIL CORRIDORS

Choose this to ask EBP to calculate the most popular routes on the map. These corridors are determined by the contract set, location of supplied loads, build costs, and geographic map features. The most popular corridors are displayed via the thickest lines. They are usually good places to build mainline track.

SPANNING TREE

The Spanning Tree depicts on the map a way to connect all cities with the minimum (or close to the minimum) length of track. It is for information purposes only.
