Tips:
1. Assign trains to the right platform is the key to avoid chaos.
2. Don't be scared by strong waves of departing trains. Tracks near depots might help to re-organize trains when
needed. Those "crowds" on the track are also real in the busy Beijing West Station and Beijing Station everyday.
3. As the major railway stations covered in this map are serving as terminals for many of the most major railways in China, there will be strong demand to reverse the trains for traffic to the depot. Don't forget it and check the timetable to help.
