Has anyone ever seen more than one train at a time in SimCity? I've built separate unconnected light rail systems in high traffic areas and I always see a train appear almost immediately on the first set of rails, but *never* one any of the subsequent sets. When I connect them, the train I can already see starts to use the newly connected track. Anyone have an explanation? Paul Gootherts, Hewlett-Packard Co, hplabs!hpda!pdg

I have found that when you replace a busy piece of road with a rail, the congestion goes down, regardless of whether it is connected to the part of the rail system that has the train. My solution to the aesthetics problem is just to plan the city with one large fully-connected rail system. I have one 150 yr old city that is mostly rail.
