Go from the primary producer to the consumer in the quickest possible way... yet, remain economical... that is, be direct, but don't dig a million and one tunnels.

Fast trains work well, Have them 'wait for full loads' to get the most of each train!

It is better to use a few smallish trains, rather than one gargantuan one.

May the force be with you.
For little boys, three things reign as supreme attention-keepers: tanks, heavy construction equipment, and trains, we all know why where here.
