Thank you kindly!

Appreciate you saying so, hope you enjoy the content!

I don't think you need to worry about efficient cargo trains, the less trucks going in and out is actually a good thing. However efficient passenger trains is a different story, having majority 25-50 passengers in a train seems wasteful.

Lets say you have a truck taking a train to a cargo terminal in generic IND area from forestry. lets say there are two trains full of material going that way. When the first truck destined for generic enters the terminal the terminal holds it for a time so that anymore going to that destination can collect so that a fuller train can be created. After a while the train must be let go to their destination so it is released. Because there are other destinations being collected as well it can take a long time to filter trucks to fill trains, but if the train is not full by the time allotted it is let go anyways. Local transfer material trains that are part full are understandable. Also remember that A train can and often does make multiple deliveries so it is easy to find them part filled. I do see trains delivering to a terminal and picking up more from that location then delivering to another terminal before despawning or at their last stop they pick up a tiny more cargo to take back to their home terminal. I do find that building a rail yard is a good way to consolidate train cargo. Especially Imports and exports for there are usually four or less off map rail connections. So without a yard every terminal connected or running on the lines that connect to off map will make a train to each of those off map connections, that can be a great many trains. If the forestry terminal can fill only half a train destined for Springfield with exports, and Oil fills 1/4 train then generic can send 1 1/2 trains full. A yard will collects all cargo going to Springfield from all places and rebuild or refills trains with mixed exports destined to Springfield for full trains. Sorry for being so long winded about this. I do have clips showing this yard idea and one clip showing and trying to explain how it works.

You should check my previous episode on how I distributed the different types of cargo around the city. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jypv3zGs0vE.html&t=

@@Captain_Ahvious I watched that one too but got distracted about halfway.

Haha! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Its not a precise rule that the ChirpX launch site should be in 1 whole tile, it just seems realistic that it should far away from the rest of the city. But even in this city, its not far enough, but we only have 9 tiles to play with, so it'll have to do.

@@Captain_Ahvious I see. Last time I put one up it kept telling me it didn't have enough resources. Thought maybe that could be why? Maybe there was a little too much traffic?

@@Kevin-dq8os Keeping your traffic healthy ensures that resources and services are delivered and picked up in a timely manner. I strategically placed the ChirpX Launch Site near the Ore Industry because the Launch Site requires Ore as a resource. But no need to worry if deliveries are delayed to the Launch Site, it will never abandon.

@@Captain_Ahvious OK I'll be sure to keep that in mind thanks.

Yes, that was intentional. For truck to return to the extractor site, they would have to cross the bridge instead of taking the longer route from where they originally exited. What I failed to do was further elaborate that the bridge was to complete the counter clockwise loop.
