Do you need Major Line cards in the Eastern U.S. game, and can you drop them?

The designer said so in 2011 and 2012.

No. With the current rules every Major Line is available from the start, and the Major Line cards can simply be set beside the board as start cards, or removed from the deck. Their requirements still apply: New York to Kansas City still needs a Western Link. Shuffling them into the operations deck is the old Railroad Tycoon method and is optional. Other maps list Major Lines on the board instead.
