Does a Tunnel or Steel Bridge's discount cover the rail that card lays itself, whatever order its effects are printed in?

The rulebook's example shows a rail-laying point, Waste, then a mountain discount on one card, and several posters read the discount as covering that card's own rail; one disputed.

Yes. The rail-laying point from a card is paid after the whole card resolves, so its discount covers the rail it lays regardless of where the discount is printed on the card.
