| Symbol | Name |
|---|---|
| AB | Appenzeller Bahn |
| BLS | Bern Lotschberg Simplon |
| MOB | Montreux Oberland Bernois |
| RhB | Rhatische Bahn |
| STB | Sensetalbahn |
The Bank size is SF8,000. Start capital is SF500 for two players, SF335 for three players, and SF250 for four players. Certificate limits are 20/13/10 for two/three/four players respectively.
There are three Mountain Railway tiles available. They may be placed from Phase 3 onwards. They must be placed on an unbuilt and unreserved hex with a normal cost of SF120; placement cost is SF120. The connection to the tile is dual gauge. The placing Public Company must be connected to the tile as normal; it counts as a normal yellow build. Each Public Company may only place one Mountain Railway. The tile counts as a large city with value 30. These tiles may not be upgraded.
After placing the tile, the Company takes one of the “+40” tokens and places it on its charter. These tokens are permanent. Every time the Company runs at least one train, it adds an extra SF40 to its total earnings.
There are bonuses (printed on the map) for running a train from North to South or East to West i.e. red-to-red.
The train roster is:
| Type | Quantity | Cost | Wounded by | Rusted by | Tiles available |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2H | 4 | 100 | 6H/3M | 6E/5M | Yellow |
| 4H/2M | 3 | 200/100 | 6E/5M | 2nd grey train | Green |
| 6H/3M | 3 | 300/200 | 2nd grey train | 4th grey train | Green |
| 5E/4M | 2 | 500/400 | Permanent | Permanent | Brown |
| 6E/5M | Unlimited | 700/600 | Permanent | Permanent | Grey |
| 5D | Unlimited | 1100 | Permanent | Permanent | Grey |

TODO
Start capital is SF335 (as 3-player) and cert limit is 13. There are only four public companies, the RhB is not available. The fifth company is the state railway (SBB).
During stock rounds, the Robot always acts in 3rd position; it will acquire the most expensive private available (resolve ties by lowest number). It has no cash and never buys shares in public companies.
During operating rounds, Robot owned privates must build one of their reserved hexes each round, until all such are built. Starting with the holder of the priority deal, and alternating between them, the players choose which tiles to lay. Once a private has built all its reserved hexes, it closes (merges into the SBB). If the private had a reserved slot in a city, place a SBB token there. SBB has a maximum of five tokens.
The SBB starts operating once a 2H train has been purchased. It operates last in an OR. The player with priority runs it for the first OR of the set, the other player for the second. It must upgrade a city in which it has a token, if possible. In the second OR, it will also acquire the next new train from the bank (resolve phase changes normally). The SBB has no treasury and does not run its trains.
