PS.  John,

btw- I'd defer to your 18xx experience (especially wrt 18al!), and I  
don't know what 1830 rules interpretations have been most  
'conventional', etc.

but I've play a handful of games with experienced players though (f2f  
and pbem), and this is the way they all play 1830- that's why I  
noticed, as I was trying to learn 18xx myself, hosting some rails  
games- and started triangulating between their games, rails, the  
printed rules, other references/etc.  across a bunch of diverse play  
groups (us & intl), these are common interpretations, it seems?

as a result- frequently in pbem games, rails players will casually  
'pass around the table'- in an effort to manipulate priority to 'where  
it belongs'.  (but, in the process- one 1830 player accidentally  
caused all the privates to payout for an extra round, before things  
even got started! ;-)

best,
  - jim
