I tried to make a setup where a train would take cargo in both directions, but it doesn't seem to work. In the sandbox recreation (attached screenshot), the train will unload copper, but not load iron. Not only will it not do it at the same time, the train leaves empty and no iron gets transported at all.
The other station on the line is the same, except obviously unloading iron and loading copper.
If both wagons contained copper on arrival, the train doesn't load those same wagons on the same visit. Bug or limitation of the game.
However if the first wagon was empty, and is filtered to accept only iron then yes this is a bug, trains are supposed to be able load and unload simultaneously
Both cars were full on arrival and no filter. This being a bug or limitation is precisely why I mention it here. It seems like a logical setup to me. Sure this can be done with two stations or even just letting the train visit the same station twice (I suppose), but that will take time and reduce throughput.

works for me (newest experimental)
I can't reproduce this. Doing it precisely like in the screenshot will make the train get stuck because it won't load the cargo and it will wait until loaded
Ah, @disentius [discord] , i believe @nightinggale2699 [discord] was asking if you could have both wagons unload, then load from the same station.
Precisely. I'm asking for both cars to be full on departure from both stations
ah...:)
I did find a bug though. If you remove filters in my setup, wagons still retain them.
