As soon as I locate the page that I got the patch from, I will post a link on
here...if not, then I may just email you my copy of the patch.

With this patch, the longest train you can have is about 125 carriages (have not
built one that long yet). You can also have multi-headed trains as well...longer
bridges...and with the railway stations, you can have a platform length of up to
seven squares (equivalent of 14 carriages), and up to seven platforms at the
station.
