In Nimblebit's Pocket Trains for iOS, you create your train empire by setting up a railroad network and managing your trains to pick up and deliver jobs from one city to another. Gameplay-wise, Pocket Trains is similar to Nimblebit's earlier release, Pocket Planes.
I noticed that jobs aren't refreshed as regularly in Pocket Trains as in Pocket Planes, with the latter having a very visible timer telling you when new jobs are arriving in a city. When are jobs refreshed in a city in Pocket Trains?
