Edit: Added another savegame from before I lost the cars...

mr_unanimous, I looked at your savegame and there are some cars missing on my computer as well. I also saw how you have laid rails, and I want to tell you a bit about rail optimization. The key to having a good railnet is to avoid slowdowns. I give you two examples:

Near Prenfingburg, there is a railline, which first go one tile down, turn and then one tile up. If you raise the land, so the train doesn't have to to go uphill, it will not have a noteworthy slowdown. Try to follow a train when it pass and check the speed before and after you raise the land. (A very good ability we can do after I made the show speed code :D )

the other optimization is the Dardingstone station. There is a very trafficed block just outside the station and you want to get the trains away from that ASAP. The problem is the trains, which uses the bridge. They go down and when they go up on the bridge, they slow down and blocks the way for the next train, which will then block the busy block. If you make the rail to the bridge go to the busy block instead of letting is join the other one, you can prevent this and the bonus is that you can avoid a hill too.
I saw one train going up that bridge, which made 4 other trains stop => not good

You might also try to avoid the incomming track, that goes uphill. When the trains enter from that track, they move slow because of the hill and blocks ths block longer than needed.
