A suggestion about Signals:
In the beginning of the game, there are only the ‘old’ signals (with the ‘arms’ moving up and down). In the end of the 1920’s, the new electrical signals (with red and green lights) come available. I recently ‘upgraded’ all my signals (LOTS of them!) from the old models, to the new electrical ones. Actually, as far as I know, there is no way to ‘upgrade’ them, the only way to do this is manually delete each individual (old) signal, and then put a new signal in the same spot. On long routes between cities I have signals spaced out about 2 train lengths apart, so you can imagine what a job that was. Therefore I have three suggestions:
1. When upgrading a ‘regular’ track to ‘high-speed’ track, AUTOMATICALLY upgrade all signals along that track to electrical signals (Having high-speed track with the oldfashioned signals looks a bit silly anyway). If that is not possible, or not desired:
2. Have an option to upgrade each individual signal to an electrical signal without having to replace each one individually (just like you can upgrade railroadcrossings, or upgrade track to electrical track). Or, if even that is not possible:
3. When deleting an existing signal (old OR electrical), get a warning if that particular signal was set as a waypoint in one of your routes. That way if you replace (or delete) a signal, you know you also may have to adjust one of your routes.
