Unload Order?

Hi everyone,

I've been out of the loop for a while and I've just come back and discovered 
all these new wonders - one way roads, NewStations 0.4 etc.  However, I was 
playing a61 this afternoon on the Metromegalopolis scenario and I needed to 
have a train with an 'unload' order. It went from one Iron Ore mine, loaded, 
went to another one and unloaded.  The idea was that the bigger train 
waiting there would pick up the unloaded Ore and go off to the Steel Mill. 
But... when the first train unloads in the station, the big train loads with 
Iron Ore, then empties and gets less money than it should for it!  Then it 
slowly loads normally until the first train comes again, and fills it up! 
This is annoying because it means the big train never leaves the station so 
I'm not producing any Steel.  Is this a bug in the Patch, or am I just doing 
something wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jonty
P.S. I can email anyone my savegame and ttdpatch.cfg if they want
