Uses

Rail Cars are used to carry items and resources along rail lines and to connected Rail Stations. Rail Cars can form a train (with up to 6 parts) by being placed on a rail, and then attaching additional cars, or a Rail Engine or C.O.L.E.. Rail Cars can move on their own (and can be driven with a Rover Seat), but a train with an engine will move twice as fast as one with only cars, and one with a C.O.L.E. will move thrice as fast.

• Power Consumption Rate: 1 U/s

Rail Cars can be set up as point-to-point item conveyors by loading them with Medium Storage or Medium Storage Silo, then attaching both ends of a Storage Sensor to the car itself, configured to Full Or Empty. The train will then automatically start moving when fully loaded at the source and when fully unloaded at the destination.
