Freight Engines

Recommended for all general freight except cargos like food and engineering supplies, which can be carried in high-speed mail cars and express cars, which freight engines can't haul at maximum speed.

Narrow Gauge Trains

• low power trains with low buy and run costs, and relatively low speeds
• effective for short routes
• can be moderately effective on longer routes
• one general purpose engine per generation, combine them as needed for more power
• narrow gauge railcars available later in the game
  • same speed as general purpose engine
  • can generally haul one additional unpowered coach, mail car or other wagon, on level routes
  • narrow gauge railcars can be combined as needed
