Passenger Vessels

• Passengers, mail and valuables
• High-priority freight cargos like food and engineering supplies, which can be carried in high-speed mail cars and express cars
• General freight, but if a dedicated freight engine is available with similar power, the freight engine will generally be lower cost, and higher performance

Mail / Packet / Utility Ships

• Passengers, mail and valuables
• High-priority freight cargos like food and engineering supplies, which can be carried in high-speed mail cars and express cars
• General freight, but if a dedicated freight engine is available with similar power, the freight engine will generally be lower cost, and higher performance

Dry Cargo Vessels

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.

Liquid Bulk Tankers

• 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

Specialist Vessels

• high-speed diesel passenger engines with dedicated high-speed coaches
• can attach other types of cars to haul mail or freight cargos but will travel at less than maximum engine speed
