I recently started playing this and I have been trying to figure this out too. From what I have read industries are demand driven. Towns demand goods so the Refineries/Lumber Mills/Steel Mills want to produce and thus Demand their raw materials. The trick I have observed is that the raw materials like oil/wood/coal/ore need to be connected on a network like roads or rail that can get their product to the source of the demand within 20 minutes.

Everything is connected by roads but even to go by foot (which is the little pictures marching down the sides of the road) they need to reach their locations in that 20 minute window.

The same principle applies for passengers routes and the max frequency of a passenger train route before you start losing a lot of passengers en-route is around 9-10 minutes. You can find articles on that else where.

The other thing I have observed is that you need a route in place being services by at least one train car or wagon/truck and the 20 minute timers counts travel to stations, waiting, transit, unloading and then travel to the source of the demand. All that needs to be under 20 minutes or is breaks.
