Loans are key to the game in the early phase, because you'll want to expand quickly. Loans
have two elements to them: the interest rate, and how long they go. Every year, you'll pay
some interest on the loan, and at the end of their duration, 

you pay back the principal. Make sure you have enough money to pay back the loan when it
comes due! If you have to take out another loan to pay it off, it's usually better to do
so than to go into bankruptcy. If a loan comes due, your finance 

department will try to take out an emergency loan to cover the amount, although it won't
be at a good interest rate.

If you do go into bankruptcy, don't be so quick to come out of it. After all, you've
already taken the prestige hit, so 

why not take advantage of it? Bankruptcy reduces all your maintenance costs, and removes
all of the debts. You can stay 

in bankruptcy until you either leave it voluntarily by hitting the button, or you've had
twelve straight profitable months, or you've gone three years. You can't lay track or buy
shortlines until you leave bankruptcy, so there are reasons why you may want to get out of
it.

You don't win the game by having the most cash, but by having the most prestige, so don't
focus just on building up your worth. Use that cash to build more aggressively, and
smarter, than your opponents! You may have to flirt with bankruptcy, but that's what it
takes to win!

The best way to manage your tracks is to check your Track List screen every once in a
while. Track List shows you all the different tracks that you own, both finished and under
construction. Open up the screen and click on the Utilization header at the top. This will
sort the tracks by how bad their traffic problems are. Open the Track Details screen for
the first track 

by clicking on the arrow to the right of it. Fix this track by adding/removing/upgrading
the engines assigned to it, then move to the next track either by clicking on the right
arrow next to the track name, or moving the mouse wheel while the pointer is over the
name. One easy shortcut: Wherever you see the Utilization lights (the zigzag lights), you
can add or remove engines just by clicking on the specific light that you want your
Utilization to be.

You can upgrade an engine by clicking the large arrow on its card. This will open the
upgrade box. If you want to 

upgrade all your engines of that class, click on the upgrade button on the engine card in
the train pool (the area on the 

right that shows all the cards). If you only want to upgrade the engines on a single
track, click on the upgrade button 

on the engine card in the Track Slot area.

Many tracks will not have any passenger traffic. If you have a single engine assigned to
carrying passengers, and 

the light is red on the right, then there may not be enough traffic to justify the
engine. By not running an engine, you 

may save money in maintenance costs.

If you're running out of money, you may want to focus on just a few tracks. It's much
better to have some high volume tracks running efficiently, and only paying maintenance
for those tracks, than to run everything badly. If you take all the 

trains off of a track, you pay much less maintenance on that track.
