Is there a limit to # of cars that a standard locomotive can pull? I just added a bunch of cars and it is not loading. Thx.

Hi yolieherman,

Only the long cars that cost farm cash will bring products. You can have one of each different long car on one locomotive.

As your train is turning quite a few sharp corners and you're long car is quite long way from the locomotive, it's not correctly connected which is why it won't dispatch. Turning that many corners can be quite difficult to connect the train correctly.

You have a couple of choices:

The easiest is to move the long animal products car so it's right behind the locomotive and leave the rest pretty much as they are.
OR you can attempt to correct the majority of it. You would need to alter the cars on the train and you also need to use specific coins cars that will rotate to allow a train to turn a corner and still be connected.
Three of the turns the train makes doesn't have the corner cars on them to turn the corners.

Make sure that when you alter it you only use the yellow hand in your toolbox. Then you will have to check if the train and that long animal car is correctly connected before you dispatch it.

Full details on how to correctly connect a working train are in Chapter 29 of the game guide.
Post#3 in that chapter will tell you how to check if the train is correctly connected to the long car on it.
Post#6 will give you an example of how to make a train turn a corner.

Here's the link to that chapter:

Hi michelle jo,
It is most likely that those are from your friends but they are working more than one account. If they use the Facebook switch user to go between those accounts the data doesn't update correctly so you see it in the train manager as a non-friend.
Don't boost those in your train manager. Instead go to your My Requests and boost them from there. You will see the correct information as to who sent it in there.

Something I have been noticing for a while - trains that I have unloaded and left alone (did not dispatched) are mysteriously dispatching themselfs. how can I prevent this from happening?

Hi Lance,
I moved your post to the Help & Support thread about the trains as this is not about the current release.
The only way they can be dispatched is by you or your super neighbors if you have given them the permission for train management. So if you are not dispatching them then one of your super neighbors is doing it.

Hello, I have trains on 4 farms - 19 - 23 - 29 - 30 with the exception of the train on fam 30,all have 10 long cars. I am unable to boost them,any of them. When it comes to unloading,it shows that the Mayor has given me a bonus. I thought that only happened on every third time of unloading or has that changed now. I try to ask neighbors/friends to boost and it comes up with a window. The window has a circle at the top which goes round and round,nothing happens. I've left the window open for a very long time but still nothing. I have had this problem since April of last year and I understand that it a Facebook problem,so I have been told. I have written to them on several occasions and I have not received any answers nor have they put the problem to rights. its the same problem with gifts. If Im sent a gift,I can send back BUT,if I go to the git page,I have the same problem as I do with my trains. Its very frustrating,especially now the Farm Pass is here as I need my trains to move quicker. Please someone help me. Facebook dont seem to care a hoot about this....ID 1785901348...thank you

Hi Irene,

For a recap on how the mayor bonus works, you can find that information in Chapter 29 of the Game Guide, here's the link to the post about the Train Manager which contains the mayor bonus information:

I am not seeing any recent previous post from you about not being able to boost your trains or sending gifts. Was it the Slashkey support team you contacted about this or just Facebook? I am sorry but we can't do a thing about the way Facebook may or may not respond to any tickets anyone may send to them.

If it wasn't Slashkey support that you contacted please check on the following:
If you have already checked that cookies and popups are allowed in your browser, no extensions are added to your browser that might be blocking the lists from loading and have tried other updated browsers and are getting the same problem there. Have a look and see if you have a considerable amount of friends that have played FarmTown. It might be worth you checking if any of them have stopped playing the game and remove those you no longer need so the friends list has less to load as for the most part the long term issue with lists loading has been happening to those with a considerable amount of friends that play or used to play, and see if that helps.
