These upgrades are important and in this order
- Engine Shed .. Always Keep this one Max upgraded Per Era, First it it your Main Source of income to help you upgrade your Station House, Lay Track, Service (repairs), Buy More Engines & upgrades for engines When you research them.
- Laboratory .. (Level 25) You Need to Upgrade this Building when ever you can it will produce more Research Points and Cut down on Wait time per Research Points For Each Upgrade
- Bank .. (Level 30) you can Calculate how much you can Make in a 24 Hour Period that's how many Upgraded you will be needed, also figure in what the Most expensive upgraded Building is needed, Put your Mouse over your Cash to see whats the Max you can carry if you run out bank space or otherwise Max out your bank you will needed to upgraded 1 to 2 more levels (you should never Max out your Bank)
- Track Productions.. (Level 30)Important so you can lay more Tracks, a good habit to get into Make sure your have 5 extra Tracks you can lay when ever your city get upgraded, Myself i make sure i have at lease 10 extra and the higher the City Level and the Higher Era i always have at lease 20 tracks.
- Construction Yard.. (Level 30) To me this very Helpful the Higher the Level Less time it Takes to Upgrade a Building.

Community Chains
Higher profit per route (Community Chains) Some factories requires goods from other industries to manufacture articles (Community Chains); e.g. Leather needs cattle; Cattle needs Grain.( ...read Engines and Goods of Eras). If Leather is your Required Good (RG) needed at the city and pays $180 / ton or $15000 / hour, first deliver Grain---> Cattle; pick up Cattle ---> Leather, load Leather ---> City to complete your route. Arrange this scheduled stops to the shortest time
You should now have pushed up the profit / per hour in comparison with a single straight route. Where a long waiting time applies at industries, these stopping intervals will indeed lower your profit rate. In such cases try to eliminate some of the stops until you are satisfied with the results. Click on the green or orange arrows to change to total of wagons you want to allocate for a specific good if you want to keep a space open for other goods you want to pick up or deliver goods elsewhere on the same route with the same engine.
Selecting an Community Chains route
WithOut Chains
With Com Chain
Understanding that a Community Chain Can be your best bet more profit as always push the chains as much as you can until you do your Blitz-Rail (Direct Run) for city
Best Time to DO Blitz
Now the best time for a Blitz is when you have at lease 2 greens 1 or 2 Yellow in your city Level THIS MEANS NO Competition it Throws Off your Final Run for Level
Investment do's and Don't
when assigning RG the most part is this DO NOT Take away majority of investment away from the assigned Corporation this will make you city Fail to Level it will cut into their Waiting time which in turn Will take longer to there Req Goods to the city as you see on the Picture the X over the Corps who holds it Now STOP don't invest unless it belong to you if you want the wait time to reduce Set that Corps to Friendly and they set theirs to you also and this will reduce waiting time by 25%
