/vr/ - Retro Games

I'm doing another Japan game. This is the layout of my network as of 1920. Only steam engines right now so it takes forever to go anywhere. Most lines are 80 km/h speed limit with a few 130 km/h lines along the Tokaido corridor. However the fastest available locomotives right now can only go 95 km/h. Faster locos will be available in a few years, and the first electric multiple unit trains will be invented in the 1930s.
Passenger trains only, except a few freight trains in Hokkaido which give me some cash to work with until the urban areas grow enough to make passenger transportation financially viable.
My goal for this game is to cover the entire Kanto plain with urban development. The current population of that region is about 88,000 (over 100k including outlying suburbs) out of a national population of 242,000, and the plain looks to be less than halfway covered with development. With the Japanese buildings newgrf, the early years are a good time to grow cities because they are limited to smaller buildings (skyscrapers haven't been invented yet) and thus are forced to grow outward instead of upward.
