You have seen (or not? :)) one of these trains in the previous shot, but here both are clearly visible - the Red Queen and Green Peas.

Known place, different look - with total of six train the Trestow Complex is one of the biggest facilities around. You have already seen the iron ore and packaging trains in previous shots, but the train in the close left corner is brand new - it carries parts from the foundry here to the nearby machine shop in the black boxcars, and returns engineering supplies on the way back in the yellow one.

Even more trains here - seven! And four total industries...it's no wonder why this station is improved first. And by the way, our HQ and main office are there.

Next on the schedule is the meat packer plant with its station - currently we are wondering where to deliver the food, so we expanded the storing areas and added infrastructure.

Last for now is the heavy industry station - it has become a lot more comfortable area, and also a lot more populated with the regular visits of four trains. By the way, if you happen to visit the station, beware of the transformer - BZZZT!

Unfortunately I ran out of industries on the small map of F.II.S, and started a lot bigger (512x512), and I present you the start of FIST (FIRS Industry Second Try), featuring NARS :
I started again with coal trains and a mainline. And tried something with depots....

Another coal mine on the way, and an oil train passing through.

Eyecandy time again! For some reason, the station designer put the platform away from the forest and trucks are used to transport it between the two places. Station is still under development.

Leaving the mainline, this little chemicals train hurries to the plastics plant, where a parts>/<engineering supplies train waits for the precious load. By the way, this is a refitted fuel oil train, which (with the two coal trains) was relocated after the sudden closure of the power station in the last post. I hate FIRS.

The Bermuda Triangle. Well, not actually, there's no train lost here yet.

Get off the tracks!! This train has other meaning of "die by thy steel". And by the way, that's my new money cow :P

First I want to say "thank you" to everyone commented so far, as most of the times I am so eager to post the new screenies that I just forget to do this. Thank You! Now to the screenshots, this time all three are about a few coal trains :
I explored the map and found excellent opportunity to revive my coal services - three coal mines relatively close to each other with total of 400 tons/month production. Two small feeder trains were dispatched to feed the coal terminal, which is seen here at the right part of the screen. The feeders use the left two platforms, while the mastodons we see at the center of the screen go to the right ones. There's one more coal monster around here...

One of these trains is 100% one of the two seen in present shot, the other is either the third, or the second one. They pass each other at this junction, where an engineering supplies train joins the mainline.

And that's their final destination - the main hub. Not final for the coal though - my first two coal trains' capacity was almost doubled and even another train was added. Explanation of platforms seen here at present time : Lower left - Eng. Supplies, two coal unloading platforms. Bending in the station from left to upper part : the previous coal trains on the mainline. On the right : Additional coal loading platform, joining the mainline on exit and using separate line coming from outside the station after splitting from the mainline. (seen in upper right corner. Other noticeable things : Office building and a good inner complex road network.

Junctions were never my specialty Anyway, some more shots :
Four sand pits, one feeder train, one main line behemoth.

The journey of the behemoth ends here, where he transfers his load to another sand train, which goes to nearby cement plant. (not shown in this storyline). The load is converted there to eng. supplies.

The supplies are delivered to familiar location by familiar train - it's the hub again, this time more busy ;)
