Glad to see the LP back, I'm enjoying this (also currently reading Lives of the Engineers). I was always a bit mystified at how popular Transport Tycoon games were. I'd go crazy managing all the routes in this game, if it was just you playing solo would you have ever bothered with the trunk-and-branch model?

Does Locomotion assume a common rail gauge? Can you run your trains on tram lines? I guess the setting isn't early enough for different rail gauges to really be a problem, especially since you're theoretically the first railway ever in the area.

What sort of timeline is there on turning the islands into concrete hellscapes? Is it mostly just waiting for the towns there to build up through passenger traffic?

Really enjoying the names.

I hope you don't let those Comets degrade in reliability too much :ohdear:

Can planes crash like trains? Does it occur with the same frequency?

Find a way to erase those hideous AI bridges!

Alternatively, could you find a way to turn those AI bridges into giant dicks?

At this point, what's the largest plane that it makes sense to run? A 747 can probably carry more passengers than the entire real-life population of these villages.

All hail the A380, crusher of puny pixel-airports.

Does the Concord animate the nose drooping for takeoffs? Or the constant protests against noise at every airfield you own?

I'm pretty sure some of the junctions are larger than actual towns at this point.

Discovering that theres a whole genre of these videos... ...it unnerves me a bit.

There's even parodies of the genre!

Thanks for the great LP! I learned far more about trains and planes than I ever imagined I would want to know!
