Unused – Train Fever Official Website (archived) Tue, 16 Jun 2015 21:43:40 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 Cargo Train Route Problem /forums/topic/cargo-train-route-problem/ Tue, 16 Jun 2015 21:43:40 +0000 /forums/topic/cargo-train-route-problem/ Continue reading →]]> So I’ve been scouring the internet for a while on this issue. I currently have circular freight routes in my towns that stop at each industry and in the end return to a large cargo bus station. These work well and are profitable. I tried expanding my industry by adding cargo train routes with cargo train stops near the cargo bus hub in my towns. However, the train isn’t being used. Each Cargo Bus cycle is less than three minutes and the current rotation time for the cargo train is 16 minutes. I’ve also noticed that the cargo bus stations are nearly empty if not entirely so (probably due to my circular pattern). Should I increase the train frequency to see if they’ll use it, or is it possible that my circular bus route is negating any need for the train?

I read recently that it is suggested to put the cargo stops near the industries themselves. I’d do that if my current system is inherently flawed, but I want to see if that is the case first. Thanks in advance.
