Standard Gauge

General Purpose / Express Engines

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

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.

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

Luxury Railcars / Multiple-Unit Trains

These run at express train speeds, and have more power but lower capacity than standard railcars
Luxury railcars can be combined as needed

High-Speed Trains

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

High Speed				Firebird Diesel 3300hp 112mph 29i	Blaze HST Diesel 5500hp 125mph 44i	Scorcher HST Diesel 6600hp 140mph 47i

Very High-Speed Trains

TGV-style electric passenger trains with very high speeds
power is distributed throughout the train
- engines are relatively low power
- every set of coaches attached to the engine adds more power
tilt bonus for higher speed through curves
attaching other types of cars is not recommended, the train will be very underpowered and will travel at much less than maximum engine speed

Narrow Gauge

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

Metro

Metro Trains

pax, mail, valuables, food and similar town cargos
for very busy routes in and around large cities
- metro trains have very high capacity and relatively high run costs
- cargo will age quickly due to crowding
- to be profitable, metro needs to be used on routes with short distances between stations, and very high loadings
can be used in stations as small as 1 tile
metro trains can be combined as needed
