“Finding "inception" routes”

If you have no other moves in your turn (like not enough cards to place trains, or no cards to draw that you want), try to go for drawing a new route that might already be inside one you already laid down. This only really works toward the end of the game, though, and can backfire, so don’t do it too much.

“These look the same...”

Hands down the best strategy is choosing a couple routes that overlap nicely at the beginning. Then choose nothing but other routes that use the same route as the original or easily connected to one end or the other.

“Oh, I see what you did there...”

The CPU although fairly decent as far as board game AI goes has a pretty big tell. The AI never tries to hide where it is headed to so if you pay a little attention to where they place you can quite regularly place a train on a short track which will block them and not waste to many of your own trains.
