Re: [Rails-devel] Running to and through stations

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

No, I didn't intend to say that.  The (current) City and Station objects are quite different, if only because the City retains its identity when tiles are laid (unless stations merge) and new Stations appear on that hex. The Station objects related to a particular City change several times during a game.

I'm not sure what I exactly did want to say, but I lean towards Station->Stop and City->HexStop.
