One thing that would be useful to add would be some rough guidance as to how many carriages to add to the starting trains. On flat tracks, can the starting trains pull 3 carriages, or 6, or 9?
2) When I said its not worth it I was thinking about starting in 1850. Horse carriages (as mentioned) won’t add too much speed and they won’t use my lines. Also you can of course build them, with something besides horse carriages, but even with trucks, without enough frequency the factories will still send goods to walk on their own. They can even use your lines, but at the same time the goods will walk themselves. So you don’t get to transport full production. That do not happen if you focus on far away factories. Plus the payment is higher.
Even starting in 1850, I’m still not sure I’d agree.
I saw that there was a steady stream of iron ore from a mine to a factory, then goods from the factory to a town. I constructed horse carriage routes along the same roads, doubling the number of carriages each time the buildings expanded, and they were my most profitable lines by far.
This was on easy, it may be that the balance of your lines/background AI lines changes on higher difficulties?
