There isn't.
You even don't have to build it.

Doesn't the HQ building reflect your company status? Like a visual rendition of the value of your company...lots of value and the HQ gets big and flashy?

I must admit to not bothering with it too much myself! :lol:

If your ego grows by that, then it has a purpose. :mrgreen:

I wonder whether the HQ also acts as a normal building, accepting/producing passengers, etc? I say this because I recently had an AI build a HQ (and a competing freight line :x ) next to a station of mine that was nowhere near any populated area, and the next thing I knew I had passengers waiting. :?

At any rate, HQs do look nice, especially once you get into the upper performance indexes. :mrgreen:

It could be that you got that bug which generates random passengers in the middle of countryside!
