Rails to the North - will it come for 2nd edition?

I've learnt and really enjoy GWT lately. I play the 2nd edition as it's supposed to have quite a few improvements over the original edition.
But I notice the RttN expansion is only available on the 1st edition. I'd really like to give it a try soon, but is there any plan to make that available for 2nd edition too? I've seen the physical expansion has been released for the 2nd edition this year.
If not I will give it a try using the 1st edition sometime- are there any significant changes to that edition I should know?

There is a small change to the staring money and hand, no exchange tokens for 1st edition without Rails and a lot of small changes that are visible on the board.

If you play 1st edition with personalized setup, you can actually play 1st edition with the rules of the second edition (including changes on the board that are made visible).

I’m still looking for a copy of Rails (1st Ed) to match my GWT (1st), and plan to play with the modified 2nd Ed rules (once I learn the game.)

However, even when selecting "play 1st edition with the rules of the second edition", the Rails to the North expansion is still the from the first edition.
