You are telling it to stop at each city, yes? That is, on the train
routing screen, you have all four stops listed with the cargo to be
picked up? See p. 52 of the manual.

Same answer

Nope, only the stuff in the yellow highlighted area. p 14 of the
manual.
>Thankd in advance for any help here.
Read the manual, cover to cover, or there is a lot of stuff you will
miss.
