The movement cost for rail is 0, so you can travel forever.
A fact I make great use of:  Imagine having one railway from
South Africa to the Bering Strait, and one from the Bering
Straight to Tierra del Fuego.

If all my cities are rail-linked (and defended at strategic points),
then I can get away with having not all my cities defended, since
if trouble arises, I can get serious firepower there on the next
turn.

Mitch.
