Calculating Freight Train Size & Buffer Theory

Calculating Freight Train Size & Buffer Theory

If you use trains to transport resources then you are going to want to make sure the train can supply enough resources to last the round trip. This video explains how to calculate this along with a working example. This video also explains the theory behind using buffers for the freight platforms.
