When the president adds personal cash, can a train bought from another company cost more than its face value?

No. In a forced purchase where the president's own money fills the gap, the price paid to another company may not exceed the train's face value. The rulebook's bullet on forced purchases caps the price itself, while its separate note words the cap as what the president may pay. A few players read that note as letting the company's own cash sit on top of a face-value payment, but most reject this.
