Game Log: 5 Players= 7 Turns: 15 November 2007 - 17 February 2008

Turn 7: Shares Bids & actions : Received: ChrisB wins the bid to get Locomotive
Builds received: Snoozefest has 1st build then in turn order with Urbanisation=Billings=A from JimC. Hmmm :(
Goods 1&2 : Gina has 1st Move again then in turn order.  Gina donates 1 to Jim & Dave donates 1 to Gina to use their track on Goods 1; Gina donates 1 to Chris from Cheyenne: Map is the position before the Goods2 moves
Both ChrisB & JimC moves Goods1 from East to West so both get +1
Income Reduction: Snoozefest -6,;Jim, ChrisB & Dave -4;Gina -2, but unfortunately Gina also couldn't pay her expenses so had to have her income reduced to pay it off - another -2
Final Position: (see Score on table above) 1st Snoozefest, 2nd ChrisB, 3rd JimC, 4th Dave, 5th Gina Tie between Snoozefest & Chris resolved by Cash
Excellent Game: Almost any variation of movement between Dave, Jim & Gina could have altered the end result.
Turn 0: 5 joined October 2007 ; One dropped out - 1 more joined: 5 to Play:  First turn order chosen randomly
