A question on the Yahoo 18xx mailing list would split the group into
two factions, each loudly insisting the other was wrong. :-)

FWIW, Dirk Clemens' 18xx moderator enforces train-buying rules, but
does not force the CGR to upgrade a 4 to a Diesel.

I'm in a PBEM where we decided to go with whatever Rails enforced, but
it looks like Rails is also silent on the matter. ;-) (That's why I
was playing this particular test game -- I wanted to see what Rails
did once the CGR had accumulated $750 to go with the 4-train.  It
appears that I also needed to play through until the CGR had $1100.)

If I manage to built the new code I will run a test game through --
I've never managed to get to the CGR operation yet.

Does Rails enforce the rule about "the CGRs token does not move
normally until it has a permanent train"?
