Disappearing Industry

I thought I have seen this topic before but ignored it cause I wasn't having that problem. I searched and searched and couldn't find it. Anyway: Playing East of Mississippi II. It usually starts out with 4 or 5 quarries around Williamsport. Shortly after the start 2 or 3 of them will disappear. When...

Building Ports/Warehouse

Never did this before; I'm playing the Argentina map and decided to build a port thinking it will increase demand for meat. To my surprise after placing the port nothing was listed in the cargo area. Is there a point in building Ports/Warehouses? Wondering why they have sooo many slots listed for th...

Re: Service Station on Spurs

Thanks for the input. I know this was asked before, but right now I'm too lazy to look for it. How do you know how far a train will go before it needs water/oil?

What sort of method do you use to set up your spurs? Distance wise?

Re: Bankrupting AI Companies

I'm playing Texas Tea and am using this strategy to try to bleed the AI's Austin route. I have 2 trains running on their line and they are always carrying 4 car loads. But I'm not making any money. The AI takes all the profit for use of their tracks. If my cargo is valued at 100K then the AI takes t...

Service Station on Spurs

I've been considering using this method then thought to myself why?

If I put a Service stop on a spur and route my trains to it, isn't that the same as putting the Service stop on the mainline if all my trains get routed to the spur for Service?

How Fast, How Many?

I'm replaying the campaign again. In the early days of rail; what was considered a good speed? I have my Jon Bull and am pulling two cars. But I was wondering if I should add more cars to it. For instance: Is running a Jon bull with 2 cars at 30 mph good or is it normal to run a JonBull say with 4 c...

Is this ready for me?

Hi guys, I don't know the ins and outs of Trainmaster. I didn't even know about it until Hawk pointed it out to me last week. I've been away from RRT3 for about 2 yrs. I'm a player not a modder. So the following is from a players point of view. After reading somewhat extensively in the TM forums I d...

Playing Again

I haven't played RT3 for almost 2 years. I popped in on Hawk's site to see if there was anything new. Sure enough.. Since I played last I couldn't load Coast to Coast on my Vista computer. It would never work. Thanks for the fix Hawk. I'm now playing RT3 as if it was the first time I played it. I do...

Re: Creating Demand

But my breweries do have a demand for grain because they are not producing any alcohol. If the breweries are running in the RED and not producing anything, you would think that they neeed the grain?

Creating Demand

I've been playing the Alternate USA scenario for over a week now and can't get any of the shipping goals completed. Where you are suppose to send 25 loads of grain to the Great Lakes Region for example. I have sufficient supply in Omaha and Des Moines. I've even went to the extent of building brewer...
