Quarry not producing for some reason
Alright, I have just made my train line from Lincoln Quarry to Lincoln City Construction Materials Plant to Pomona Freight Terminal. It is sharing track with my food line. But for some odd reason, the quarry isn't producing and the contstuction materials plant isn't ordering any stone from the quarry. Both the quarry and the construction materials plant are not using my line. Does anyone have any idea about what is going on here? And how to fix it as it is costing me hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Edit: Check the last sentence first :)

The only time I encountered something similar, was when I had allready set up a transportline via road between two Factories, those where going pretty smoothly, but I wanted to add up on the Input and plunked down a train line that could haul a lot of cargo, just to find out that the trainstation would only recieve the excess goods after the road station had been filled up, which only happend after I selled a load of trucks.

Other than that, it can seem to take a lot of time before the game realizes what you're trying to do, sometimes more than a month (I slowed the game down to 8s a day, 2s is standard).
If your problems falls into this category, I'd advice you to start new Lines with way less tansport capacity, to kick the production off, and then adapt gradualy to your demands.

What you also could try (I cant gurantee that it'll work since I've not tested it enough so its subjective) is to send your train to the station that should be producing goods, wait till it left the station and reverse it to send it back again till the Factory starts producing.

Just reread your text again, also make sure your Freight Terminal has catchment to Industrial Areas or another line that fullfills that requirement, otherwise it wont start producing.

Thank you for your reply. My freight terminal covers most of both commercial and industrial buildings.
Is it working now?
Also have you checked, that you've built a cargo trainstation?

And the cargo type of the wagons?

There is an intermittent bug where a factory will not connect to the train line occasionally, even though it should. Not much you can do about this now, but to build small, until you know it's working THEN expand.

Unless the bug hits you when you have a multimillion quarry line and 90% of your income depends on this one line. This combined with the upgrading makes all your stockpiles of stuff disappear really just screwed me over. Any help with making the quarry read "line usage yes" when I have 7 trains 1 factory and 2 cities depending on it?:steamfacepalm:

OK WOW. Bug solution is to destroy the old station, wait for it to remove the line thing, and then rebuild it. So dumb... can this get fixed please? And the upgrading magically making stuff disappear from stations?
