So do you think the company you work for would like to lose $17,596.00? This amount could be higher or lower depending on how many people used this glitch.

Interesting, I appreciate the math, thank you! For what it is worth everyone I get train boosts from who have added multiple engines have at least 10 cars... just added the faster engines as they came out. This is the first I heard of using 2 cars with 5 engines to get 100% work from mayor, but I guess it depends on how early people started their trains. Most I talked to would not be willing to buy extra cars to set up 5 trains. I got the Standard and 10 cars. I added the Ultimate and Turbo when the glitch was left open so long, thinking it was like some other glitches that are not encouraged but not prohibited either... so Turbo is running and other two are on the siding.
