> will overpay coal from the other side of the map even if they have one just on their doorstep Aye. It can be very profitable if you find a pair of matching resource sources and sinks a nice distance (given current technology available) between them – take coal from region 1 to a power station in region 2, and pickup more coal over there and pull it back to region 1, and of course repeat. This way your trains have cargo in both directions so make more profit than if they return all the way back empty. It makes more sense for passengers, who may have reasons to travel long distance (holidays, long commutes, …) no matter what is on their doorstep.
