In the course of time, more and more modern bridges will become available.
Of course, these modern bridges will also be more expensive.
Modern bridges allow a faster tempo.

To build a bridge, click on the symbol of the respective type of bridge.
Now click on the field, where the bridge should start and pull the bridge to
the desired length. Click on the ending-field to build the bridge. Of course,
you can undo this action.

Bridges are not that easy to build. They require quite a bit of space for the
drive-up ramps. These ramps may not be built in water or on tracks and
roads.

You may not build bridges over buildings or
mountains. So, if you would like to overcome a building or a mountain
chain you will have to build a tunnel.

Tunnels
You can build tunnels the same way you build bridges. When you build a
tunnel you also require a fairly large amount of space for the ramps. You
should keep that in mind while you are planning the construction project.

Tunnels are the most expensive construction projects in the game. There-
fore, you should thoroughly consider the decision to start a major project
like that. Even in the long run, bypassing the obstacle is often much less
expensive than a complex and costly tunnel.

Please keep in mind that tunnels may not cross with other tunnels.
Finish Construction Section
So, we set tracks to the sawmill and established a second train station.
Now it‘s time to actually build the route - till now it was all just planning.
The yellow highlighted parts of the route show you the planned construction
projects.

By clicking on the „OK“ button you start the actual construction
process. Now the expenses are finally deducted from your account.
Tracks Must Be Connected
Now it‘s time to introduce the one major disadvantage of trains in compa-
rison to other vehicles. The only way you can build functioning train tracks
is by connecting them to other tracks or a train station.
rison to other vehicles. The only way you can build functioning train tracks
is by connecting them to other tracks or a train station.
Tracks are always considered connected if they are tracks in a train station.
Therefore, you can build several lines of tracks all starting in one train station,
without actually having to connect the tracks. In this case, the connection
is provided through the train station itself. So, if you have connected two
train stations with one track each, and you now want to make a connection
to a third train station, you have two possibilities. Either you can insert a
switch into one of the already existing tracks and then build the new line of
tracks to the third train station, or you can expand one of the train stations
to include a second line of tracks. Now you can also connect with the third
train station. But a railway system does not have to stay connected forever.
The requirement to connect tracks is only given when you build new tracks.
Therefore, you can go ahead and demolish older routes or tracks.

Once in a while it might even be necessary to connect tracks, although
parts of these tracks will never be used. You can demolish these parts at
any time.

Additional Track Platforms
Usually one track platform will not suffice. Or the train station will
simply become too short in the course of time. Then you obviously
have the possibility to expand existing train stations.

To expand a train station, simply click on the „Expand“ button.
Select the desired means of transportation by clicking on the

To construct an additional track platform,
click on the symbol for the additional track platform. Then click on the
train station that should receive the additional platform. That‘s it. The track
platform has been built. Of course this only works if there is enough space
available for the additional track platform.

You can repeat this action as often as you desire.
Move your mouse cursor over the desired train station to find out in

appear, showing the total expenses.
