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:
