Train based option

[maartenpeels]

While in late game I usually use miners to directly load trains, without belts. Would be awesome to have a "Train based" option.

Don't know if this is possible or wanted by others, but seems nice to have.

Wait so in the late game you literally have miners on both sides of a set of tracks and they feed right into the cargo car?
I don't see how that can be efficient, but maybe with modules and beacons it could be
But it also seems like you'd use up the ore near the tracks fast enough that you'd have to keep changing the location.
Really I don't understand your setup and not sure the author would either unless they use this...
think you could post a screenshot of a setup?

Here is an example: reddit. You need a very high mining productivity though.
