Uses
- Power Consumption Rate: 3 U/s
Rail Engines are used to transport items and resources using Rail Cars. They stop at any 
Rail Stations that are set to stop any or automated Rail Engines.
Rail Engines may be triggered to start moving by automation items such as the Proximity Repeater and Button Repeater. Rail Engines and Rail Cars will start moving in the direction they last traveled in, unless at a dead-end, in which they will move in the opposite direction instead.
Notes
- A train powered by a Rail Engine can travel ~2x faster than if powered only by Rail Cars, while a C.O.L.E. allows for ~1.5x faster travel than a Rail Engine.
