John, Mike and Chris:
thanks for your suggestions.

I will break all of your suggestions into tiny tidbits in my response to 
keep the discussion focused on each proposal.

In my view the huge panel of companies during the OR was distracting as 
well. Unfortunately it is difficult to move fields given the current 
code structure (this will improve in 2.1...).

However what is possible in 2.1 is to change the visibility of companies 
during the OR.

What about this:

During tile/token/revenue steps: Show only one row with the current 
operating company.

During train buying step: Show all companies, as the map has no value 
now and it is important to see where the trains currently are and what 
is the operating order of companies.

I already have a fix in the repo (branch rails_2_develop) that 
implements this change.
