Without trains or good’s.  I’m hardly hanging on thanks to the help of one goods transport.

My other stations hit green figures as well but drop everyone once in a while as shown in picture.Here is the picture along with most successful line.

I started my trains with 20 mil surplus and it drained me to -2mil before the towns started to balance things out…. granted no passenger line is making money… 🙂

So far the most I can do is break positive by a small margin. Just focusing on industrial is too easy. Profits are huge for small maintenance cost.

Nnever run trains unless you can afford the crazy financial loss as they will not yield profit unless city is 1000 + population with 50% coverage.
