Ok. Calm down..there's no need to shout.

Now, this is a very common problem of Simutrans newbies. There're a lot of references to this topic along the forum. Please, search a little bit and you'll surely find the solution.

1) Factories in Simutrans should have a contract between each other to deliver goods. So, are both factories connected to each other in that sense.

2) Are your stations enabled for goods transport?

The best you can do is read the beginner's manual.

If you open up the Coal mine details screen (not the best description) there should be a list of Coal Power Plants that it is "linked" with.

If you click on each one, does the screen get centred over the Power Plant that you are connecting to?

If not, you are sending the coal to the wrong Power Plant.

I would highly recommend that you read the online manual. I found it especially helpful with tunnel building and things like that!

To start producing from a factory any good you must connect it to another factory via train, ship, truck or any other vehicle. If and you havn't connect it to the right factory so nothing will happen.

On the ****umption that you have connected the factories correctly, have a look at the trains schedule. You can set it to wait at the supplying station until it is 100% full. If you leave it at 0%, it will collect what is there and move off.

Did you check that the factories are working together. ( If not so click on one of them and check on the list it is being suppplied or costumed from the other. )
