A very few games (18MEX, 18AL (or the sibling game with the civil war)
come to mind, I know there's at least one other) have half-phases --
the last or second-to-last train of one of the types triggers
something.

For example, phase 3-and-a-half in 18MEX lets NdM shares be sold in
the SR, and kills the minors.

I'm not sure how to indicate or code for that.


 

That's not possible yet. Sometime someone will have to invent some trick for
that...



Similarly, many games have rules like 1830 where the purchase of the first
of one train opens up availability of some other train. 


That's already catered for (via an extra "release" attribute: the first
6-train releases the D-trains).
It's already included in the Info.
