Clay and Coal pits not working

[HEAVY FIRST RATE]

I cannot get my clay and coal pits to generate products. I have deleted trains, stations, and track numerous times as well as several up grades on the pits. Engine just runs back and forth between stations empty. When I click on pit for information screen it shows that that are being transported by wagon.............wtf.......there appears no way to deselect this! Anybody got any help?

Unless a city has demand for it a product that requires it you will not be able to transport it

In a manner of speaking, that is what the problem turned out to be. It was not the coal and clay that was the problem, as there was a pottery factory in the city. The city belonged to an opponent whom I eliminated and liquidated, so it sat vacant for a bit till I extended my own rails into it. Apparently, the pottery factory kept getting deliveries of coal and clay by wagon and also the city warehouse filled up not only with pottery, but also coal and clay. When I took over, there was no demand for pottery in my network, so the pottery didn't move, coal and clay did not get used, and therefore the mines did not operate to produce more. While studying the various city information charts, I just happened to notice that the city warehouses were filled to capacity with coal and clay and the answers sort of fell in place after that. The fact that the product of products was the problem, not the resources themselves, is what threw me off the solution in the beginning. Thanks for your reply anyway.
