Commodities of Martian Rails: Iron

Martian Rails (2009), the crayon board game manufactured by Mayfair Games about railroading on the Red Planet in which players build tracks and haul freight, has a long list of cool commodities that players can transport to generate revenue for their rail companies. For example:

Iron -- This is the Red Planet. The red color comes from rust – iron oxide, in other words – chemically bonded iron and oxygen. It lies everywhere under and on the surface of the planet. However, certain areas, particularly the desert regions, have higher concentrations of iron ore.
