I started this match slow on purpose. I discarded Seattle to Los Angeles and kept Montreal to Atlanta (9) and Denver to Pittsburgh (11), but I waited before committing to a route because I had multiple viable builds and wanted to see my card flow first.

My first placement was the single track between Omaha and Kansas City to keep options open. Then I connected Denver to Kansas City and Omaha to Chicago, and I dropped the Chicago to Pittsburgh connection to complete Denver to Pittsburgh. I originally thought I would need to connect both tickets into one network, but it became obvious I could just build up the east coast for Montreal to Atlanta without linking the two, so I did that as a separate route.

After that, I drew more tickets and got Montreal to New Orleans (13), Calgary to Salt Lake City (7), and Winnipeg to Houston (12). Montreal to New Orleans was the clear keep because it only required Atlanta to New Orleans, which I completed quickly.

With momentum and time, I drew again and pulled Chicago to New Orleans (7), Portland to Nashville (17), and Calgary to Phoenix (13). Chicago to New Orleans was the obvious keep again because I already had trains on those cities, but it required connecting my two separate networks. The southern connection was completely blocked, and Black and Yellow had locked down most east coast routes through Pittsburgh, so I had essentially one path left. I had to connect Montreal to Chicago, and thankfully I got it down in time to complete the ticket.

One opponent was already down to 5 trains, so I stopped drawing tickets and switched to pure points. I focused on placing the longest segments available, including a 6-car section for 15 points. I finished 1st in train points at 69, with second place at 61, and I secured Longest Train with a massive 40-car continuous line by connecting that 6-car section into the end of my Denver build. Second longest train was only 25, so it was not close.

Opponents were Yellow, Ling; Blue, Nnamdi; Green, Morten; and Black, Aanandi.

Spoiler, results: I won with 119 points. Second place had 73. I won Longest Train at 40 cars.
