By the time these come around, I've generally covered most of the map with railroads, and there's little, if anything, to connect up with these new technologies, forcing me to upgrade.

Now, if the difficulty in this game gets so that you don't have millions in the bank, come 2010, then being able to automatically upgrade all your railways to monorail just won't be possible (unless the cost is small )

So, my question is, can you currently create a monorail station that's part of a railway station, thus making the upgrade process a bit less painless? (I'm at work, and can't check)

I'm also thinking that, by the time you get 300mph maglev's, that the difficulty will need to be increased further. Huge coal trains sprinting the length of the map down perfectly flat straight railways make ridiculous (yet satisfying) amounts of money on each run.

I am not sure whether you can do this but you could build a station with two different train types and just dump the cargo there for the other train to pick up. For example you have a high speed route with maglevs going through the middle of your map then you have normal trains taking the cargo here from within a small area - hmmmm, that would probably look quite good, might have a go at that. I am not sure whether it is possible though to build to stations of different types next to each other,

You can even convert single tiles of existing stations to another type... so you could have a station with one platform one half monorail, and one half maglev

I haven't played OpenTTD for a while but today I have downloaded the latest version - so please can you tell me how to do that?
