Just a random thought: Have you considered industry tree networks? Choochoo train network seems primed for it!

You'd think so, and I did consider it, but it'd be trickier to implement than you might think. Passengers can go from any town to any other, but for cargo, you need both a source and a destination. ChooChoo grows its networks "organically"/randomly, without any planning what it will connect beforehand. It just plops down a crossing and expands from there. So it could hook up industries opportunistically as it finds them, but if it connects, say, a power plant, there might not be any coal mines that end up in the network, or vice versa.
