Reading Railroad: Trains are now "Limited Time"!

I missed one significant part of the Day 9 update: EA has marked ALL the trains as "Limited Time"!


It really makes one wonder: does anyone at EA actually think through the implications before they introduce new features or rooms to the game?

It's almost like they get all excited and push out something, and then realise that, "Oops, this makes it easier for users to earn gold in the game, so we really should take it away now".

There's a small part of me that thinks maybe the buy-for-real-money trains will disappear and be replaced by ones that you pay M$ or gold for, which will only pay out pretty small amounts of gold ... but again, who knows what those geniuses at EA are planning! 

If any planning actually goes into this game at all, that is.


All in all, that's disappointing news. 

Maybe the trains will come back for occasional "Limited Time" guest appearances, but the bottom line is that if you really want a steady stream of gold from sending out the more expensive trains, your safest option is to buy those trains now, before they disappear.
