you cant put oil onto coal trains?

did you "unload" the oil from the ship?

you really should change your topic title you might get a better responce.

PS what you want to to is listed in the manual..

It came as paper with the game or on the CD as a PDF.

That'll be extremely cool if you can unload cargo such as coal on to ships
Maybe it would be awesome if that modd is made :D

You already can..

connect a train station and a port. have the train "unload" the coal.

The ship can then pick it up (assuming the ship can carry coal)
