Aliza,
the standard game with nearly all features below should also work. Some
comments and caveats see below.
I hope you will not run into any serious issues during your tests. In any case
keep me updated if you need a fix.

Actually in my rules (1.0c 12 July 2006) there is no exception to be sold
before phase 3 for the B private. But the token lay is attributed to the
owning player only.
However in rails it can (currently) only be done in the tile laying of a
company of that player. If the owner of B does not own any public company, he
cannot lay a port so far.

Only if still owned by player, implemented in Rails.

Implemented.

The first private is the D (no mountain costs), that is implemented. The
latter is the C, here the current implementation only allows the tile lay in
the tile laying step of the buying company. Thus if the private is bought
after the tile laying step (usually only if that company buys the first 3
train), there is a deviation on the board until the next OR.

That is the E. Actually checking the rules I realized that it is different to
1830 in that the rules only allow to change for shares from the IPO.
Currently Rails would exchange from the Pool if none are available from IPO.
(Actually if I remember correctly in the 1830 rules it is undefined and some
AH ruling later allowed the private owner to choose?)
Other things:
The remaining caveat is that if the owner adds additional funding to a train
purchase only the cheapest train from the bank or the pool.
I also realized looking into the rules again, that 1889 is
SELL-BUY-or-BUY-SELL, will change that in the game.xml file asap.
