Cedar Rapids & Missouri private company - first thoughts

The Cedar Rapids & Missouri private company currently provides for a half-price token in Cedar Rapids, and a free 1+2 train. This is a novelty that I haven't seen in any 18xx game before, although the 1876 (Trinidad) 1/2 trains are close. The train's route must include a city with a station marker, and up to two towns.

With the token-placing powers of some of the other private companies, it's likely that most of the railroads can upgrade their income on the first few turns just by reaching the closest town.

The corporation that owns this company may even be able to avoid buying a 2 train, and go straight to a higher-level train, while still being able to float and run immediately.

This private company is intended to increase the initial push toward towns, and represent the role of acquiring existing local railroads as a way of increasing the territory a corporation covers.
