# Era 6 Cargo Engines

Era 6 Cargo Engines

The sixth Era has 7 cargo engines, with one being a bonus engine.

You can open new engines by using research points generated by the [Laboratory](https://support.rail-nation.com/articles/49) building within your Train Station. Only when you've researched the required pre-requisites can you begin to develop the next engine. At the end of each era, a coupling system is available, allowing engines to transport goods from the next era.

Note: No passenger engines are available to research on the American Dream scenario.
