Re: [Rails-devel] FreightTrain Handling in 1837

[Dr. M. B. <dr....@t-...>]

HI Stefan,

i had reverted the commits today, cause i decided to use a different 
approach without an additional ORAction.

My vector of approach would have been as you said to list a number of 
different revenues with a special revenue derived from the coal trains 
for the president to choose and decide, but since my understand of your 
revenue code is very basic that will take some time to find its way, i 
am afraid.

i found the display code in NetworkGraph.visualize and from there went 
backwards to get more information :)

But again, lots of obstacles (like the vertices for the mines and how to 
treat them with out duplicating code).

Regards
Martin
