Ride the Rails

Description
Ride the Rails is a 2020 game designed by Henry Wu and published by Capstone Games. The game supports 3-5 players and plays in about 60 minutes.

Description taken from BoardGameGeek:

In Ride the Rails, you will invest in railroad companies, build railway track across the United States, and deliver passengers to as many cities as possible. Each round, a new railroad company is introduced to the game, and each railroad company has its own special placement rules! Deliver passengers to as many cities as possible to earn the most points. Be cautious in your travels as shareholders of railroads that you use will also earn points!

Rulebook can be found in game or here: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/194800/ride-rails-english-rulesheet

Notes on the score calculator scripts:
1) During phase C, mark all links traveled using the railroad tracker discs as normal. The white hexagon will adjust automatically whenever a railroad tracker is moved.

2) Once your delivery is complete, the player who made the delivery should click the Payout Turn button in your player area. This will automatically calculate payouts for all players based on their own stock portfolios, updating the scores on the player counters and on the scoring track around the board. A record of each payout can be seen in the chat log.

3) Make sure all players store their shares on their player boards. This is required for the script to function properly.

I made a few updates to the mod:

1) Adjusted the color of the red trains to be more distinct from the orange trains
2) Added visible counts of the remaining trains in each color
3) Incorporated the scripting work done by greenleafy0 in the mod seen here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2180089309 . Thank you to greenleafy0 for this scripting
4) Added scripting to calculate payouts for all players after each delivery

Let me know if you run into any problems with the new functionality.

I have not yet added the expansion content because I have not been able to get sufficiently good images of the maps. If you have access to good images of the maps, DM me here.

Received the game in the mail yesterday before realizing that I couldn't actually play it with anyone - thanks for making this for us!

This is the first pass on a Ride the Rails implementation. I intend to add the expansion boards and some scripting soon.
