1. double track.
2. that's too many platforms on the ro-ro station for the short line.
3 Wrong forum! this is a screenshot forum

Apart from the attached image being a jpg which may get your ass kicked in here, You seem to have attached an image that is mostly AOL, swearing in the message box and xp... It would have been easy just to crop it, expand the box, or grab a screenshot in game.

Since you have 2 seperate train routes to each farm, why do the rails need to connect for part of it?. They don't have to share the same platforms also, theres plenty of room to make fliud flow threw stations for each line.

Your entire network will only go as fast as the slowest section. In your example its just a short line from a to b, so you don't really need any super inivative layouts. Try going for something big, and then you will learn what doesnt work as it jams up,

Could I also suggest destroying the swearing in that screenshot, it's soiling my young, impressionable eyes.

Build big, then work out the problems. GO crazy once, then you will get the idea after fixing everything and how it all works

Then apply to the smaller sections when needed.
