Ok, so now our horses know where they have to go. But we still have to
determine which products they‘re supposed to transport. We don‘t want to
send them off on their journey for nothing, right?

Load and Unload Goods
If you have already entered the destinations then you surely noticed that
the right side of the schedule suddenly changed. Now you cannot see any
vehicles, but instead a list of goods to be transported.

You can see all the goods that can be transported,
available within the range of the stations. To make
this section of the game clearer, we decided not
to display all the products you cannot transport in
the first place (because there is no industry located
in the catchment area of the station, or perhaps
because these products are currently not available
on the map).

Let‘s get back to our example. We want to trans-
port tree trunks form the first station to the second
station.

station.
Click on the symbol for tree trunks on the right hand
side. Now you have selected the desired product. To
include it in the schedule, simply click on the arrow
side. Now you have selected the desired product. To
include it in the schedule, simply click on the arrow
button pointing to the left, above the products list.
Now a symbol for tree trunks will appear in the first loading box of the first
destination.
destination.
What does it mean? It‘s easy! We‘ve determined (in the schedule), that the
vehicle will load one wagonload of tree trunks every time it stops at this
station. Accordingly, the little boxes represent loading units. When dealing
with trains, one little box represents one wagon/railway carriage.

Depending on the type of vehicle, you can transport up to 64 wagonloads.
Although you can only see 16 loading boxes, you can use the scrollbar to
scroll through the section. Thus, all 64 loading boxes are available to you.

Back to our example. At the first station we have determined tree trunks
are the product. Therefore, the vehicle will load tree trunks the next time it
stops at the woodcutter store.
We still have not determined a product for the second station. That means
the vehicle is supposed to unload here. Thus, the tree trunks are unloaded
at the sawmill and the train returns to the first station with empty wagons.

Let‘s take a look at a more difficult example for a minute. This is what
another schedule could look like:
another schedule could look like:
Station Woodcutter store - 8 loads tree trunks
Station Sawmill - 4 loads tree trunks, 2 loads boards
Station Paperworks - 2 loads boards
Station Carpentry - no load
What would the train in this
example do? Let‘s take
a look. It‘s really not that
difficult. The train loads 8
wagons with tree trunks at
the woodcutter store station.
At the sawmill, 4 wagons are
unloaded, the other 4 wagons

a look. It‘s really not that
difficult. The train loads 8
wagons with tree trunks at
the woodcutter store station.
At the sawmill, 4 wagons are
unloaded, the other 4 wagons
remain loaded. In addition, 2 wagons are loaded with boards. The other 4
wagons with tree trunks are unloaded at the paperworks. The 2 wagons
with the boards are brought to the carpentry where they are also unloaded.
Now the empty train returns to the woodcutter store.

Passenger and Postal Transport
Dealing with passengers and mail is slightly different than dealing with
goods. Passengers and mail must be delivered to certain destinations. But
we‘ll go into that later on.
