When can the Erie or NYC lay a tile on its home hex, and does it need a track connection?
The rulebook names the Erie and NYC home-hex exceptions, and the forum agrees.

Neither needs a connection there. The Erie's home tile is the green 59, so it waits until green tiles are in play; the NYC's is the yellow 57, which may be laid once that tile is available. Both are exceptions to the usual route test on their own home hexes.
