question on rail

[Jorge_Stanbury]

I have a question on rail design

I built a new city near my frontline (I am in an active war), I then expanded rail to reach it and I created a level 1 truck station and a level 1 rail station

Issue is that now this zone supplies my frontlines and it is totally not up to the task

In order to correct the issue (and not reloading from a past save), I can see 2 options:

- build rail from new city to the front (+ end railhead)
- build rail bypassing new city (+ end railhead)

which one will be better?

ship coloists to new city raise level and raise truck stop

He might need the rail later anyway for other cities in this direction - it's often a good idea to build the rail immediately as you get new territory, since even without a railhead you still get 10% of the logipoints, which then can help to resupply a part of your frontline !

Have you read this logistics tutorial ?

Otherwise, traffic stops should help you experiment with both of these options ?
