Era 2 Engines

Era 2 has 6 cargo engines, 2 passenger engines and bonus engines. All engines in this era are named after animals.

Cargo Engines[]

The Bat is the best engine overall in this era. The Lynx, Boar, and Elephant are not too far behind depending on waiting times.

If you didn't get coupling from Era 1, the Bat is a good starting engine - and is more profitable than the Falcon + coupling, although the Giraffe is useful if you don't have an Era 1 passenger train.

Era 3 - Coupling[]

The Era 2 engines can carry Era 3 goods with use of the coupling, costing 50 research pts., and requiring a fully researched Elephant. The minimal complete cost of coupling is 322 RP, but can be as high as 372 for other research paths.

*Red values indicate averages based on an 8 hour servicing schedule (All values are rounded but Reliability is to 2)

Passenger engines[]

There are two passenger trains plus a bonus one in this era. The Cheetah is the most profitable of the two.
