I can't, however, remember whether or not it retained its status as an express, nor what its consist was. For example, I had a train with express status hauled by a Dragon (32mph,70%) at 30mph: replaced that loco with a Rensselaer (40mph,35%) and it slowed to 20-21 mph. If you can afford it, the tables are pretty convenient. You also get a souvenir Polar Express Mug per ticket in First Class. Coach is more like an airplane with seats and an aisle through the middle. All your expresses become "endangered" and if you gaily replace their locos by the new loco you probably find that those trains are slower, because the new loco lacks traction. The biggest difference between the First Class and Coach cars for the Polar Express Train ride is that first class has tables. One annoying thing about expresses is that it is very likely that some of your trains are expresses and then along comes a faster engine, possibly researched by an opponent but not by you.
As I see it, "freight" means that faster locos are, or should be, available for passenger and mail "mixed" locos are both the fastest and most powerful of their time and can be used for any train and "express" locos are fast but feeble and most definitely not to be used for anything other than passengers and mail - and usually not more than four cars. Locos are characterised as for freight, mixed, or express traffic. Mixed trains are good all around trains for keeping steady connection between whatever you what, but for passengers and post they might be too slow to gain express status and therefore will not bring much income for those goods.įreight trains should be used for critical goods supply chain, especially when you travel them on uneven terrain. Laying a flat and shortest path track connection between cities is very expensive (you need bridges and tunnels). 'Light trains' have significantly slower climbing speed.įor good money you want express trains, but this is pay more gain more strategy. The difference between 6 and 10 days may not seem a lot at first glance, but over a quarter (90 days) it is the difference between 9 trains arriving/leaving and 15 trains arriving/leaving.
These figures are for Grass Hopper Engines. I have not tested this deeply so can't be certain.Freight is about 5 times heavier than express goods (post & passengers).įor express trains you want the shortest and as flat as possible rail tracks. To do this the two switches between the double tracks need to be as close as possible to the city. Lighter trains can accelerate and climb faster. Each "express" car carrying passengers or mail weighs the same, and is light. My understanding is that each "freight" car carrying any type of goods weighs the same, and is heavy.
