What I find interesting is to build a complex but highly profitable network,
then using the Scenario editor, save it, then play it ... this gives all
your transport to the AI opponents, who can't cope with the network and just
rip it all up, usually starting with stations, leaving trains stranded
everywhere.

In one city, one AI opponent built three separate stations, all carrying
passengers to different places. And then wondered why his ratings in each
station were so low...
