Hey,

I agree that it does take the "fun" out of it. I don't tend to start all
over. I do the entire thing in bits, but ensure that there is rail next to
the maglev so that old trains can still get through. This is expensive, but
tends to piss off the towns a bit less. There is a problem with runs like
ore -> steel mill -> factory -> goods though, and I tend to fix these all at
once...

Just a few thoughts...
