Passengers Missing! – Train Fever /forums/topic/passengers-missing/feed/ Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:43:53 +0000 https://bbpress.org/?v=2.6.13 en-US /forums/topic/passengers-missing/#post-7277 <![CDATA[Passengers Missing!]]> /forums/topic/passengers-missing/#post-7277 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 11:31:47 +0000 MrHoot I am deeply concerned.  My 1853 departs station A with a full load of 42 passengers.  It reaches its destination with 40 passengers.  What has happened to the 2 missing travelers?  Have they died from smoke inhalation?  Maybe the trip was too long and they flung themselves from the caboose.  Or did they just leap off to avoid paying their fare?

I am sure there should be some kind of inquiry.  Perhaps I should call Hercule Poirot, after all he solved the mystery of the Murder on the Orient Express.

So if that time is up while they are on a train then ‘poof’… gone forever (or maybe just back to their original home, I asked this question in another thread this morning)

I had trains start with 46 passengers and arrive with 20.

Its a known issue though, but really frustrating if you are struggling to make a profit.

Imagine how much money you have to pay to mafia janitors, to clean train with 26 dead bodies..
