What is Transatlantic Rails
An expansion combining both Empire Builder and Eurorails. Players start with a Freight train on each board as well as a Freighter to transport Commodities from one continent to the other.
Trains and Freighters must be in the same Port at the same time to transfer a Commodity, unless a Warehouse is built to store Commodities, ($10 in a Port).
Like the Trains, the Freighter can be upgraded to a Heavy Freighter to increase its load capacity from two Commodities to three.
Freighters take three turns to cross the ocean. Transatlantic deliveries pay double.
