Railcars / Multiple-Unit Trains

  • These run at the speed of freight trains, and are suited to
    • short routes
    • routes which are heavily used by freight trains, which limit the maximum speed of other trains on the route
  • Railcars can generally haul one additional unpowered coach, mail car or other wagon, on level routes
  • Railcars can be combined as needed
