Two - On The Rails

## General Info

This is a thorough walkthrough for the second chapter of Tally Ho. Click here to see specific romance guides and here to see achievement guides.

For the characters that have no fixed gender I have changed the pronouns to gender-neutral ones where applicable.

Some choices do not change any stats, and those will be referred to as 'empty choices'.
