I had the time to play Coast to Coast Rails with four, Chicago Express with five and Age of Steam with three at Nordonia's Game Time on Saturday morning.  Coast to Coast was okay although many at the table were non-plussed.  I liked that it was a good gateway, but I didn't see the tactics behind it.  Maybe another play will change my mind.  Chicago Express was chaotic with five and one new player basically threw me the game by placing blocking track on another.  Age of Steam was with two veterans on first America and then Europe.  I have only played online, so playing these guys was truly terrifying. 

A game of train games is fine by me.

In the meantime, Open Rails has one global looking for playtesters.  Word from the publisher is coming probably by the end of the year and hopefully before the end of October.  We'll see what happens.  In the meantime, people have been plugging away at the rules and offering valuable feedback.  We'll see if it the game morphs much from how it sits now.
