What do the GREY routes mean on Ticket to Ride?

Some routes – those that are Gray colored – can be claimed using a set of cards of any one color. When a route is claimed, the player places one of his plastic trains in each of the spaces of the route. All the cards in the set used to claim the route are then discarded. A player may claim any open route on the board.

The longest route includes all the red trains (50 trains) and does not include all the blue trains of the smaller routes branching off. Note that the branches do not count although they are connected. The Trans America Express (worth 10 points) card in Ticket To Ride is awarded to the player with the longest route.

The plastic trains are only there to show that the route is yours. Once you've claimed a set of routes between Atlanta and San Francisco, you can (and should) use and re-use this route as often as possible. In Ticket to Ride, any segments you have placed can and will work for any Routes you wish to complete.

Ticket to Ride: First Journey is geared at younger gamers who aren't quite ready for the full game. This version uses pictures on the game board and route cards so reading is not required to play. It also simplifies the scoring, rather than earning points, players are racing to complete six routes to win the game.

Rules say that stations, and the opponents' routes they may provide access to, do not count for the purpose of computing paths and claiming the longest one.
