(Cargo) Trains should be more intelligent and efficient

[Danny Donkey]

See this image:

The trains do always picks the shortest route to their destination, even if they ends up in a queue and using an alternative route would make them get to their destination faster. In the situation above to we gave 2 trains in queue, preferring to NOT use the full capacity of the cargo terminal. (!!!)

So my suggestion is to give the cargo trains a bit more intelligence and awareness of how they can reach their destinations more efficiently using more of the available capacity.

Better AI is needed! I agree!
