contracts are not essential to do. I am level 275 and I found that waiting until I had good cargo wagons and good size passenger trains and more importantly a good stock of materials (over 1 million of each) as you need them before I started tackling the contracts. I think I was about level 230-240 when I started to do serious battle with the contractors and I feel it was the best way to do it. as the few thousand extra passengers it adds to your total passengers from contractors stations it really is not worth doing until later on. concentrate on building your station(s) up and building the best buildings you can then get a good sender list for your international trains as this is the best way to earn gold. I have not sent local gold trains since about level 70 so that frees up all locals for materials.

just remember the key to success is to save save save it not only allows you to get what you want but it also earns you xp and that is key to level up.

I hope this helps and good luck in your quest finding a stratergy that you like
