Trains
To form a train you have to place a locomotive and one Cargo wagon minimum. To connect them to a train you have to drive the locomotive near the Cargo wagon and press "G"(default) to connect rolling stock. To disconnect the last wagon in train press "V"(default).

Driving a train
- Vehicle/Train/Driving: When you enter a train (press Enter-Key to enter), you can drive it.
- You can use the loco as personal transport. This makes great sense in later game, when the distances to your resources-fields get bigger and bigger.
(Re)fueling a train
- Vehicle/Train/Refueling: Trains need Fuel to run. See basics, how to fill it into the locomotive.
Directions
- Vehicle/Train/Reverse driving: In automatic mode a train can run only in the direction of the loco.
- Railway network/Right-hand traffic: It is important, on which side of the track you place Railway network/Train stops or Railway network/Signals.
More than only one locomotive
- Vehicle/Train/Wagon: A wagon is like a rolling chest, but the inserters can grep into it from a farer distance.
- Vehicle/Train/Coupling and decoupling: You can couple disconnected parts of trains, wagons or locomotive by driving slowly to the wagon/loco you want to connect while pressing "G". "V" decouples the last wagon/loco.
Other things
- Vehicle/Train/Defence: Trains can stop should be defended.
- Vehicle/Train/Repair: Damage should be repaired.
