OpenTTD saved games: 200910

Saved games for 200910 (version 0.7.3 of OpenTTD).

The October 2009 game is a 512x256 tropical map, based on the "Huge Valley" heightmap.

The plan is to build factory, food, and water networks to grow one or two towns. The industries will be on one or more of the legs of the H-shaped map, and the town or towns to be grown will be at one of the other legs.

By Game year 2000, I had the first mainline built, to take goods from factory to town. the town I picked turns out to NOT be in the desert, so it doesn't need food or water, but can accept food (after a remote station leg was built). By 2007, I had the central transfer interchange built. I'm using Shift-MaineLine (SML) merges. By 2014, I have the entire mainline built. Of course, now I feel the map should have been bigger, at least 1024x512 instead of the 512x256 that I have now. It feels cramped.

I do like the fake "yard" I've built on the western end of the mainline. That comes out of the "classification yard" type of stations. All the freight trains get sent out of the depot connected here. I'm using double GP38-2 engines, with a total train length of 5 tiles (8 regular-size cars).

I couldn't resist. By 2020, I started a passenger line using the HSE-10 "Sunset" locomotive with 10 bi-level passenger cars each. I built remote station legs around the pax stations, to boost service. By 2045 I had 2 passenger lines.
