- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* On early stages always go for the bonus stations, as they yield the biggest points score during normal gameplay.
* If a bonus station timer is getting low, don't go for it unless you are 100% sure you will make it. It's not worth risking a life for a 20 point bonus!
* Learn to move the track quickly, as this is the key to getting your train to its desired target. You should be able to move a piece of track 3 or 4 times while your train is still on it, moving at normal speed.
* If you have a long route opened up in front of you, run it at full speed, but remember it takes a couple of seconds at the end for your train to slow to its normal speed.
* When your train is moving along a long route try to plan where it will go next by moving pieces your train has already passed over and maybe even swapping some of those around ahead of you to change your route.

- 3rd February 2008: f205v dumped Loco-Motion (bootleg), with same attract mode as Cottong.
- 11th March 2007: Mr. Do - I found a decent picture of a Locomotion bezel, which was simple enough in shape to vector. Thanks again to Jcroach for the fine vectoring job.
- 0.93: Added 6x RC_Filter.
- 0.79u1: Changed palettesize to 96 colors.

Kevin Klopp added accurate colors to Locomotion.
