NA Railway Events Schedule (Up-to-date)

This schedule tries to predict the next NA events and will tell you when it last happened. Manual actions by Papaya and players may still change the starting date of the cycle.

Overview

Brief Explanation of North American Schedule

This is the schedule you need if you are looking for a specific event (And when it will spawn). It's even possible to predict when a specific NPC will appear (for those mysterious boxes):

• Mysterious Bonanza Box (No.1)
• Mysterious Bonanza Box (No.2)
• Mysterious Bonanza Box (No.3)
• Mysterious Bonanza Box (No.4)
• Mysterious Bonanza Box (No.5)
• Mysterious Bonanza Box (No.6)
• Mysterious Bonanza Box (No.7)
• Mysterious Bonanza Box (No.8)

The North American cycle is comprised of the following events:

• Thanks Giving Festival
• Franban

And also the following events:

• Gold Rush
• Free Trains (Not shown above but you can't invest). You just don't pay to use the trains.

These are special NPCs that only appear during specific days: 

• Travelling Merchant (Sells items, consumables and boxes)
• Railway_Executive (Allows you to invest again)
• Millionaire (Sells Items and boxes)
• Cheerful Miner (Gives you a rare gold nugget). Not worth it - in my opinion.
• Traveler, has the recipes for:

1. Boston: Feather Crown of courage (+1 plunder, +1 assault) - Head slot. Next to the Charioteer NPC in Boston.
2. Omaha: Deerskin Boots (+1 unlock, +1 trap) - Shoes slot. Next to the Stationmaster NPC.
3. Sacramento: Traveler's comb (+2 sundries) - Accessory slot. Next to the shopkeeper (Item shop) in Sacramento.
4. San Francisco: Frontier's Shirt (+1 Mineral trading, +1 appraisal) - Body slot. Next to the shipyard in San Francisco.
