Finally, it's America! The group for America is just a straight split between Freight and Passenger. You'll get two votes per group for a total of four. If you want to use 3/4 for one group then you can, if you're solely interested in freight/passenger. Although I'd recommend not for the sake of playing the 'game'. Anyway, let's take a look at the routes.
