How to install and use SAM (Stand Alone Maps)
1) Go into C:\Documents and Settings\(your computers name)\My Documents\My Games and rename the Sid Meier's Railroads! folder you presently have, adding an ending to it, whatever you want. ("SidMeier's Railroads - Old" will do just fine)
2) Start the game. When it gets to the main menu, exit. This will create a brand new, empty Sid Meier's Railroads! folder.
3) Go into the Sid Meier's Railroads! folder you renamed and copy the 'Settings.ini' file into the newly created Sid Meier's Railroads! folder. You now have the basis for all future SAM and CIC maps.This is not mandatory, but your old "Settings.ini" file has all the customization that you made to the game. (Clouds, graphics setting, Newspaper etc.)
4) Open the Sid Meier's Railroads! folder, then open the UserMaps folder.
5) Open the Zip file of the map you wish to play and extract the map folder, to the UserMaps folder. Please note that there are NO FPK files with this map!
6) Close all folders and play the map

As I've indicated this is a SAM (Stand Alone Map). It has all the resources and industries that Firaxis included in the original game. There are 18 in city industries and 12 on site resources.
Since all are basic Firaxis items there is NO FPK file. I tried to keep it small and easy.
The map itself is 14 X 14.
It has extensive scenario requirements for the single player, but it is suitable for multi player game. Three player would be ideal.
There are no Passengers and some of the resources will need workers imported from the cities.
The cities will not produce workers automatically; you have to import some stuff to make workers.
I have played it feel like a million times. There should not be any CTD problem.
There are some errors in the Scenario.
A corrected version is posted here and in the“SAM for Everybody MAPS” thread
