BOOSTING YOUR TRAIN(S)
To boost your train, click "Train Status" and then on "Boost Train" and then pick the Farmtown friends you want to send Boost Requests to. (There is a drop down menu where you can choose only friends who play Farmtown) You can send as many as you want, but only the first 12 friends to respond will get products. (Boost Requests will show up in your "My Requests" tab) Any others that try will get the message "Sorry, this train can't be accelerated any more since it's already 1 day ahead of schedule". Each boost will advance your train 2 hours. The advance that your train receive in one trip from all your friends combined can not exceed a full 24 hour day. The benefits that friends receive by advancing your train will be between 1% and 3% of all the products being carried by the train.
BOOSTING MULTIPLE ENGINES ON THE SAME FARM
If you own more than one engine, and each engine is connected to separate sets of cars, you can boost each engine/train separately.
If you have enough friends you're sure will boost for you, you can send 12(or more) for each different engine or you can send 12 boosts to different sets of friends (so if you have 4 trains, you can either send boosts to 40 separate friends, or you can use the "Boosting Multiple Engines" procedure listed below to send 12 boosts to the same 12 people. (You can send more than 12, but only the first 12 friends to "boost" will get products and advance your train.)

BOOSTING MULTIPLE ENGINES ON 1 OR MORE FARMS
Open enough tabs to send boosts for all engines on all farms (So if you have 4 engines on one farm and 3 on another, you'll need a total of 7 tabs open. 4 for the first train (1 for each engine) and 3 for the second train) Go Offline on all tabs! Click on each Engine to get to the Boost Train option. Pick the people you want to send boosts to but do not send them until ALL boosts are ready to send. Once all boosts are done, then send them. You may send a boost for each engine, on each farm, to the same people.
DISPATCHED TRAINS AND WORKING FACILITIES
The Mayor will work 50% of your neighbors facilities for free. Each train car you have on your dispatched train will increase the amount worked by the Mayor by 5%, If you own 10 cars, then the Mayor will work ALL facilities for you, but you will have to visit each of the hiring farmers farms one at a time.
If you have 2 or more trains dispatched with 10 freight cars on each train the Mayor will complete all farms for you without you needing to navigate to each farm. If you do not meet this requirement then the Mayor will still help you with 25 - 40% of the workable farms - only when there are at least 3 workable farms.
You can have one standard black engine that will cost you coins but is the slowest of all engines to return. Each freight car costs $35, so engine plus 10 cars would be 350 in farmcash.
