Well, having skipped a round, I feel that North America at least deserves a dedicated thread. It's the least I could do. Anyway, let's look at the ties: 1. Morristown Line v MBTA Commuter 2. NEC Boston v Sherman Hill 3. LIRR Commuter v Cajon Pass 4. Sand Patch Grade v Clinchfield Railroad. The way this draw has worked out does mean there could be 1-3 Passenger or freight routes in the Quarter Finals, so that's interesting. Sand Patch (33) narrowly won the freight group, just ahead of Clinchfield (30) and Cajon (30). Morristown swept the passenger group comfortably. NEC Boston/Sherman Hill and LIRR Commuter/Cajon Pass are likely just Passenger v Freight clashes. Rules You'll get four votes, one per tie. You could double vote in a tie but you'd just cancel yourself out.
