Do you take Waste when you play a Lay Rails card but place no rail?
Posts agree on the plain card, but the AEG reply is second-hand and the rulebook text does not address it directly.

Generally no. For a plain Lay Rails card, a relayed AEG reply says the Waste comes only when you actually lay a rail, so you can play the card for its money alone. Forum posters disagree on cards with extra effects: if you apply such a card's effects, the rulebook says all of them happen, Waste included.
