I think I saw your posts. You don't get paid for getting new people here :wink:
What I love is that if you look at the Sid Meiers Railroads! site form 2K, it still says it's coming out thi October! We can all drool that that is a new version that their talking about.........NOT!
I'm correct 97% of the time..... who cares about the other 4%....

Those are likely images of a beta version of SMR, after all look at the oil well blocking the line, we don't have that in our versions.

I've found those icons inside the game files. It's probably an earlier build.

Ya, I found them also. If you unpack Interface).FPK @ C:\Program Files\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Railroads!\Assets, you'll see them there. I thought they looked familiar.

Seems to be a screenshot of an online multiplayer game ... could that have something to do with this "5th button?"
