Iron ore not loading

Post by ScottVal »

Hello-
I've created a train station next to an iron ore mine. I've placed a train with two wagons at the station, and told it to wait for a full load. The station says it has like 100 tons of iron ore, but it is not getting loaded onto the train. Does anyone have any ideas about what I might be doing wrong here?

If you are using the default iron ore/coal car; are you sure you said full load Iron ore instead of Coal?

uktrack-
Don't wagons carry iron ore or coal? Do you have to specify that the wagon will carry iron instead of coal? If so, how do you do that?

Alien-
The order on the train says "waiting for full load of coal." But I really want it to pick up iron ore, not coal. The train is sitting at an iron mine. But I didn't think it mattered. Besides, I don't see how to change it from "coal" to "iron ore." Is there a way to do that?

Thanks for your help.
