Just some fun ideas
* Teleportation. Vehicles enter a terminal (looks like a depot) and they can teleport to another terminal. Super-fast freight!
* Road Trains. Similar to the road trains in Australia. Super long trucks.
* Horse & Carriage. Stagecoaches for delievering passengers, mail and cargo. Super-slow freight!

Too futuristic

Nice idea, something similar was suggested before.

Needs animation. But nice idea.

As about that in the list of transport if he has broken burned red light. That it was clear that train or machine is created.

Errrrrr I didn't really get that... at all.
Teleportation: Makes the game too boring. It's fun to see trains move about and work out huge networks.
Road Trains: Well yeah, but that would be dangerous when crossing the railway lines
Horses: As purno said, it requires animation, and is probably a bit too Transport Giantish. The game spans from 1920/50 to 2050, not from 1850 to to 2050

Would be an idea........
Anyway, I don't think there's enough 'support' for those horses.
Or like someone said 'Too much work for too less ... ' forgot the word en the real quote

Thats the fun part of the game, watching the trains moving around.

yes which is why teleportation is a bad idea
