    How do you get them from their field to the train?

    Making them wait for the train is more logical than having them take an hour of their time to go to the shop?

    Do you expect them to carry a tractor transmission on the train?

    I swear the anti cars crowd has no idea how big rural areas are and how far everything is. My tractor dealer is 40 minutes away, it’s all fields and forest along the way, I’m supposed to have a train station in front of my house in the middle of nowhere?

      You’re off-roading your transmission?

      Edit: since he’s rather downvote than accept he is wrong. Pro-car people don’t realize how huge rural areas are, we used trains for farming long before cars and they had to build roads for all of it to get to where we are now. The train can be sent to the farm to bring everything to market but it can also be sent with people to help farmers get whatever broken part onto a train car and take it to be repaired then brought back and help to have it installed. It’s not city trains going to rural areas, it’s rural trains.
