Fair enough. I could have sworn someone knowledgeable told me that and/or I read an article about it, though.
Regardless, for the record I do prefer Assembly Line to Railroad as a tech. Infantry can attack and be drafted, Machine Guns can't, and the production benefit from Factories and Coal Plants always seemed to me more substantial than that from railroads - but I could be wrong on that, and there is the opportunity cost to consider.
