Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is the first era in the game TrainStation III. The first and second job forms the Tutorial for the game. The Mechanic Thomas leads through the renovation and the rebuilding the your train yard.

No matter how many times you play the game, Era 1930 usually plays out the same.

CAUTION:

Because it's much more difficult to obtain locomotives from a region once you progress from that region, you should make it an emphasis to collect as many locomotives as you can before you proceed to the next region.

In Era 1, you start the game with 1000 bucks, no gems, and the locomotive ERIE L-1.

You'll begin with jobs to build out the whole Global region in three different region and complete the full Era campaign.

Tutorial[]

During the tutorial, job completion times are compressed.

Job #	Task	Cost	Rewards
Job #	Task	Cost	File:Icon EraPoints.png	File:Icon Bucks.png
Warehouse upgrade needed Tutorial Directs Players to Warehouse Upgrade
1	30 Oak Wood	Warehouse Upgradation	Warhouse Lv. 1 -> 2
Locomotive Depot Upgrade needed Tutorial Directs Players to Warehouse Upgrade
2	30 Oak Wood	Locomotive Upgradation	Locomotive Depot Lv. 1 -> 2
Cargo Crane Upgrade needed Tutorial Directs Players to Warehouse Upgrade
3	30 Oak Wood	Cargo Crane Upgradation	Cargo Crane Lv. 1 -> 2
4	60 Oak Wood	-	45	2400

At this point, there are three jobs in the Job List.

You can process the jobs in any order you choose. Job Completion times revert to their normal completion times.

Jobs with a teal topper are considered story jobs, which you need to process to complete a region's story. Jobs with a dark blue topper are considered regional jobs, which you need to process to collect regional rewards.

See Levels for rewards as you advance beyond Level 4.

REMINDER:
It's much more difficult to obtain locomotives from a region once you progress from that region, you should make it an emphasis to collect as many locomotives as you can before you proceed to the next region.

As you continue to buy locomotives, you'll often end up with duplicates. In the most recent version of the game, when you first receive a duplicate, the game offers you a choice between selling the duplicate or collecting it. If you decide to collect the duplicate, you can still sell it at any time and receive the same number of upgrade parts as originally offered. So, the decision is up to you.

Special Electrification Event[]

After crossing the year 1934, the Electrification Event is triggered. Unlike other special events, this event is only for the player, and does not have any competitions. The event runs for 8 days. The event includes an Event Pass (with available Event Pass Rewards) and a Shop. This introduces new players to events, and event trains. The Pass includes to Locomotives for the player, as well as the usual assortment of Bucks, Workers, Durability Fixes, Power Parts, Fuel Parts, Speed Parts and Durability Parts. Additionally, the EP-2 BIPOLAR will be available for sale in the Event Pass. There is an event factory to provide goods required for certain jobs. There are two passes, Tycoon Pass gives double rewards and unlock premium rewards of the pass. The Magnate Pass gives the tycoon pass, additional 50% warehouse capacity and Double the workers in the Event Factory.

The Oak wood forest in Corngrove region is unlocked from start to build the initial railyard. The amount of materials is in tons.
