You may place up to 2 tracks per action, must spend a total of 1 wood, 1 stone and 1 iron (whether you place 1 or 2 tracks), pay 10 guldens to each opponent who already has a track on that connection, and assign workers whose total Experience is at least the sum of the Effort numbers of the new cities (pages 14–16 and 15).

To deliver you must spend 1 coal from your board (not the landing), take one good from beside one of your workers on the map and place it on the city's Demand space, then take the payment shown on the Factory board; delivering to a Hub City also increases that city’s influence and coal deliveries can award City Key tokens (pages 26–27).
