Warehouse Strategy
I prefer to connect 2 city for the express goods. Which means that the express train goes:
- City A Passengers station (Restaurant+Market)
- City B Passengers station (Restaurant+Market)
- City A Mail station (Post office + Maintenance)
- City B Mail station (Post office + Maintenance)
I always start with 2 trains on those lines, but it require 4 quite fast.
The only cases where I connect 3 cities in the same express line is when the line is too short to get the express status.
I also make more tracks to keep them split from each others.
There will generally be 8 tracks (4 in each direction).
- 1 pair for express
- 1 pair for manufacturer goods (which use the “Mail” station at first)
- 2 pairs for the import of raw goods from rural station.
Then 1 rural station will have a warehouse with 6 goods (+ the good in the station to reach 7) and deliver to the cities in the area through their own line.
I tried to make the line from the warehouse -> City wait until max cargo (7 cars), but this only work if I have enough platforms so that each of them has 1 (with generally 2 for the unloading of goods into the warehouse).
I try to balance the amount of trains in the 2 pairs of tracks for raw goods, as this is where there’s the most traffic.
