Don’t be afraid to build multiple cargo rail terminals in one location. Each one has 16 trucks to make deliveries to warehouses nearby, especially if you are going to rely on the cargo rail stations delivering local mail to your post offices.

When it comes to laying tracks, have long and wide curves. Trains slow down when going through turns.

When you have a cargo rail line going to an outside connection, it’ll shift a lot of your city’s imports to that cargo rail terminal, including local mail deliveries.

People don’t build enough cargo rail stations to support their industrial network so the backlog of resource requests sent to the cargo rail terminal gets so big.

Those 16 trucks never get a chance to get around delivering the mail to the post offices. This leads people to think that cargo rail terminals are causing their mail system to be bugged(it’s not the cargo rail terminal, but the post sorting facility is bugged).
