In TT original, at the latter stages of game my two worst problems were:
trains not finding their proper stations, like if a train left a station and
the destination was to east and there were two tracks leaving the station,
one to east (the correct one) and one to west (not-so-correct one :-), it
would definitively choose the one going to west. And the second problem: I
had too much money. I had set building cost to high, which doesn't mean high
building cost at all, but a great inflation, so my money was all the time
overflowing and going to about -2 billion, so it wasn't much about money to
build train networks of one track for one train, while I must admit it
doesn't look very pretty. So my best strategy was to put one train per track
so they couldn't in any way interfere with each other. Perhaps with the
deluxe and the patch file I could build a network where trains share tracks.
So, have to try!
