Rail Nation includes 48 different types of goods. Only a few are available from the start, and the others become available gradually. Each good is released in a certain era and can only be hauled by engines from that era or later. A good is not released immediately at the beginning of an era, but only when a city starts demanding it, at which point all factories of that type will be opened.
Each good can only be transported using the corresponding waggon, and each waggon can only hold one type of good. Each waggon can be sold at 70% of its purchase price.
