I do NOT think that it is possible to setup a chain of Warehouses each within range of it's neighboring Warehouses such that carloads of resources/goods could be transferred along the chain without using a train (after a train delivers to the first Warehouse in the chain). I have seen cattle delivered by wagon to A and then the meat also delivered by wagon from A to B. Although wagon deliveries are still possible, e.g. If anyone has EVER seen a Resource close enough to a City that a Station/Warehouse is range of both the Resource and Station/Warehouse, please say so.Īdded: see below by rff1 and chaney, even if the Warehouse is in range of Both Site and City (on European or non American Maps), the City can NOT use the resources until a train has hauled them. I have never seen it happen, so I think the RE program during Game/Map setup has something built into it that says NO Resource Sites can be located Close Enough to a City that a Station/Warehouse can be in range of BOTH (City and Site) at the same time. (If they get changed into something else by an Industry, you can get a delivery fee for that new good). So you do NOT get a delivery FEE when you deliver to a City's Warehouse, (only when they get consumed or used by an industry). the same carload of resources (or goods) can NOT generate more than ONE delivery fee. If/When those resources get consumed by a City is when you get paid a delivery fee for them, i.e. Warehouses that are close enough to a City for the City to use, will get resources delivered to them by actual trains ( and WILL be in the Warehouse), where they will either be consumed by the City and/or it's industries, or picked by a train to go to another City(s). Which means that a 2nd Station/Warehouse close enough to the Site, which could belong to another Company (AI), could allow other trains to load them (instead of your trains). I use Warehouses pretty regularly at Resource Sites, but just like a Station, those resources remain at the Resource Site(s) until they actually get loaded on the train.
