I'm having difficulty visualising what you mean here.

What I can see is...

Small Iron Ore Mine	Big Iron Ore Mine	Steel Mill
โ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€กโ€ก

With one train taking iron from the small mine to the big mine, and
then a big train taking all the iron to the steel mill.

In which case, you need to have:
Small train orders:
1. Small Iron Ore Mine (Full load)
2. Big Iron Ore Mine (Unload)

And big train orders:
1. Big Iron Ore Mine (Full load)
2. Steel Mill.

Does that help?
