Tiverton and Crewe Railway ( TCR for short ) is a new company, started in 1850, servicing, you guessed it, Tiverton and Crewe. Its main source of income is passanger and wood traffic.

vinkandoi: I am playing with an early version of my Rasonable Balance Mod. The train on the screen costs about $220k per year. THe whole wood service yields aboyt 1.2M per year in income and about 500k in expenses.
