Railroad Tycoon 2

I've never tried this game before this week and I have a few questions about what is going on in one of the status windows. (See pic.)

Are the big car icons 10 of the little ones -or-?

How many -what- (units) are the little cars? - X-many Car Loads?, Tons?, Connections?

Three -what-? -- Car Loads?, Tons?, Connections?

Thanks.

You can teach a man to fish and feed him for life, but if he can't handle sushi you must also teach him to cook.

It's a cool game, I've played it a lot.

If I remember correctly, the large car is just the first one, and the others are smaller to save screen space I suppose. But yeah, each car has a value of 1.

Yep, Car Loads.

Yep, Car Loads again. The text list under the ---MORE--- is the same as the icons to the left, they are just represented by numbers instead of icons to save screen space.

So, in your pic there, the demand for the station is as follows ->

Passengers - 4 Car Loads
Mail - 3 Car Loads
Lumber - 3 Car loads
Logs - 5 Car Loads
Milk - 3 Car Loads
etc.
