Sending Cargo Wagons to these destinations via Local Trains is what brings the player valuable resources needed to progress in the game. The shorter the journey, the higher the yield, but the more dispatching work is involved. More effective destinations have more stars. The following information is for players to assist in planning their Cargo dispatches.

Seasonal Destinations
Sometimes, during Seasonal events, a special destination will appear. These destinations accept all train types and provide some of the best returns of any other normal.

Calculating Cargo Yields
A normal Local journey of 10 minutes with a 0% wagon will yield (except Hyperloops which give ). This is the standard upon which all of the other calculations are based. Shorter journeys are more profitable per journey, yet they require much more of a player's time to manage. The material income for each journey length reflects this trade-off between profitability and manageability.

NOTE: Due to the high dispatch tax of Hyperloops trains, PF raised the yields for these trains.

Formulae
When using these formulae, I found rounding up to the nearest integer after the entire calculation works best. The final result may be slightly different (less than 1%) from the result rewarded by the game. This is due to small differences in rounding methods. Even so, the result will be highly accurate.

Base of 10 * Multiplier (from table) * Wagon Bonus % (= per wagon) Then, multiply that number * Number of wagons * any Train Set set bonus % = gained per train

Examples

 * BASIC TRAIN
 * Dispatching a Crampton Steam locomotive with 4x Forester wagons to the 30-minute destination yields:
 * Base Wagon Yield = 10 
 * Multiplier for 30 minutes (from table above) = 1.8 
 * 10  x 1.8  = 18 
 * Wagon Bonus % = 100% (all wagons base at 100%, the bonus adds to this)
 * 18  x 100% = 18 ( per wagon)
 * Number of wagons = 4
 * 18 x 4 = 72 (Total Train Yield)

NOTE: Using a Diesel locomotive, the Multiplier is 40% higher. Hence, the Diesel cargo bonus.


 * TRAIN SET
 * Dispatching a complete Chrome Cargo I Steam set with 6x Chrome Glass wagons to the same 30-minute destination yields:
 * Chrome Glass:
 * Base Yield = 10
 * Multiplier for 30 minutes (from table above) = 1.8
 * 10 x 1.8 = 18
 * Wagon Bonus % = 140% (base 100% + 40% wagon bonus)
 * 18 x 140% = 25.2
 * Number of wagons = 6
 * 25.2 x 6 = 151.2
 * set Bonus = 25%
 * 151.2 x 125% = 189 (Total Trail Yield)


 * Dispatching an ETR-500 with 15 Cement Shipper and 1 ETR-500 Tail on a 1-day journey will give this result:
 * Cement Shipper:
 * Journey yield for 1 day (from table above) = 280
 * 280 x 70% (wagon bonus) = 280 x 0.7 = bonus of 196 per wagon
 * 280 + 196 = total per wagon
 * x 15 wagons =  for Cement Shipper
 * ETR-500 Tail:
 * Journey yield for 1 day (from table above) = 40
 * 40 x 285% (wagon bonus) = 40 x 2.85 = bonus of 114
 * 40 + 114 = income of for ETR-500 Tail
 * + = total income of  +
