Shouldn't that be Spartan? ??? At least that's what I thought when I went to MSU. I lived in Durand for a while but spent most of my childhood in Corunna. That put me about half way between Flint and Lansing. Now I've relocated to the land of Flagler and Plant (Florida) My dad didn't actually work in the Durand Depot most of the time that he was there. He started in 1940 as a Car Checker (A man who COULD read who made symbols on the side of box cars in chalk so that those who COULDN'T read could get them into the right trains) later he specialized in finding lost freight (now HOW did that load of car parts bound for Detroit end up in Baton Rouge?) My one uncle worked in Battle Creek for the Grand Trunk as well and another worked as an engineer. Heck, I even got to drive a Diesel before I drove a car. (under the wtachful eye of the real engineer) Well enough of the real thing... back to the game.

Thanks for your kind reply. I wasn't just hoping to complete Texas Tea. That's not that tough. I WAS just enjoying seeing just how money I COULD make if I planned it well. As to the program abending I just think it has to do with the game LOGIC as opposed to any system constraint. The thing plays flawlessly and quickly up to that point. I'm thinking I may have blown out an internal table in the game or something. Maybe too many train stops to keep track of or something.

My dad worked for the Grand Trunk Railroad and was a bit of a workaholic when I was growing up. I remember his taking me to see his work a time or two. I still recall being impressed by the big darkened room where
