I have an issue with trains..... Or the lack there of I should say..... I have two cities side by side that I have connected via rail line for both passenger and freight. I have put both station types in both cities. and I have yet to see a train the only thing I have seen on the tracks is this little thing that looks like some kind of work truck or little tiny green vehicle just roaming the tracks..... I have NAM 30 installed and I believe all game updates... I am running SC4 with rush hour.... the one city has a pop pf 35,000 and the other is a farming city or town. Any ideas as to what might be wrong???

Have you used the route query to see how many people are actually using it? Trains only appear if a certain number of people are actually using the route.

May not be enough demand to use the trains, If the jobs are closer by road, then they won't use the trains.

    Check that your graphics settings in the game are all on high.

    The little green whatsis is a track/path verifier. They show that the path is OK if they can run to the end.

    Good to know that I've helped. The track checkers may still show up if you've paused a city, but will disappear when you run the simulation again. 44.gif
