Long Trains

Attention, comrades chairmen and leaders of the socialist republics. The Committee for Engineering Design and Construction has prepared the following projects for implementation in the railway infrastructure:
- Enterprise of Railway Track Construction (Railway Track Facilities). It is a comprehensive enterprise serving and engaged in the capital construction of railway tracks. It is designed for 12 units of equipment, a maximum of 480 workers, has its own impressive warehouse of building materials, including gravel. At the enterprise, individual sections of the railway tracks are assembled, loaded onto track trains and assembled. The company provides construction and maintenance of tracks within a radius of 4.5 kilometers. If the enterprise fulfills all obligations for the construction of railway tracks, it can be used as open warehouses for building materials and storage of bulk cargo. The building materials themselves cannot be delivered by freight trains. It can be brought in by trucks, or by connecting the manufacturers of these materials and freight stations directly with factory connections. For example a plant for the production of reinforced concrete panels. The enterprise has no through railway tracks.

I sent a request to the game developers to add the same snow drift effect to the railway tracks as to the roads. Waiting for an answer. So it would be possible to add locomotives to clear the railway tracks from snow.


- Technical Railway Station. This station is intended for the maintenance of freight track trains. You can put the station under unloading and loading, click the "wait" checkbox and the train will remain at the station, waiting for the next orders. This function is essential when using long freight trains. From time to time it is necessary to wait for the accumulation of the resource at the cargo station. Themselves long freight trains are capable of transporting over 1000 tons of various cargoes, keep this in mind.

The second function of the station is fueling diesel locomotives. An internal warehouse for more than 400 tons of fuel will come in handy. Fuel can be transported both by rail tank cars and by laying a pipeline directly to the refinery (by the way, in this case, the station can be used as a fuel filling station).

Not all railway tracks are through train tracks, take this into account when designing.

- Container Railway Station. This station is designed for storage and loading / unloading of containers. The area for placing containers is quite large, with a full load, your PC may slow down slightly (after all, several hundred containers can load the system a little). In addition to containers, you can load the produced transport onto railway trains, or store them. The station can be used as a warehouse, quite impressive in size. There are more than 300 places for equipment. Three railway tracks are passable, trains can pass the station.
The problem may arise if you connect with factory connections with car factories or with loading containers (with unloading everything is fine). Until the inner warehouses of these buildings are full, the station will not be full. It is better (more efficient) to transport containers and transport by flatbed trucks (16 vehicles on the line work normally, without traffic jams).

- Freight Railway Station. The main station has enough tracks (both long through and short non-through) to ensure cargo turnover. 8 factory connections will be able to provide rail connections for both your factories and warehouses. For example, by placing a building Loading containers, you can load these containers with goods IMMEDIATELY onto a freight train, carry them for sale, or to a Container Railway Station. You decide. Well, or by connecting eight farms at once, you can immediately send your crop in freight trains. Unfortunately, there is no connection to liquid and bulk cargo (and not planned).

You can immediately connect your industrial plants, thereby ensuring compactness.

Dear comrade, the purpose of these stations is to enable you to use long freight trains. Yes, the stations will require a lot of flat space (pay ATTENTION to this !!!!). But in the end, you will be able to have 5 - 10 long freight train trains in stock, capable of carrying the same amount of cargo at a time as, for example, 3 - 4 short ones. And it looks more realistic. You will be provided with compactness, because you will not need to build many playable small cargo stations. You will be ensured economy, because you will not need to have 20 short trains. And there are many other pluses that you will each see for yourself))) Minus - construction for resources is not quite worked out, there are mistakes.


All cases of failures, errors, etc. report to the Committee for Engineering Construction and Design (in the comments).

Have a good game!!!!!
