The railway is alot faster than walking, and there is no real wait time. My game runs at about 30 FPS, and a round trip takes about 10 seconds.

I always only use a single cart on each track. (Most of my former cart related deaths has been due to a stranded cart that a dwarf went to pick up, - and was hit by another cart.)

A very late reply to LLL.
The main purpose is was to see if it could work. :-)
It has only been used for moving metal bars and marble down to the magna forges, i.e. a free fall shaft would have been a lot easier and effiecient.
The plan was to use it to move gold furniture up from the magna forge, but I haven't bothered to set it up yet.

05 - The Hall

We quickly walked by a disorganized mess - probably some ill-planned staging area meant for the trade depot. At least here, we were within recognizable civilization. The floor tiles depicted elements of our culture in ways that displayed flawless technique. The barrels let away this lingering smell of mixed alcohols, and a few others peppered the air with scent of roasts, of chopped quarry bush leaves, and of dwarven syrup.

Something did not sit quite right, however. The crowd ceaselessly changed. We tracked one fresh arrival to verify. He went to a barrel, chugged a drink, and walked away. He took a roast from another barrel, sat down at a table, and ate through it at a frightening speed. The moment he was done, he got up, and disappeared back into the stairway.

We saw dwarf, after dwarf, after dwarf, eating without tasting, slaved to their occupation, and never once slowing down to enjoy one another. No party, no gathering, no idle time.

Everyone worked, worked, worked.

And for what?

We approached the central window, and we peered. - Shurikane
