Trains are, of course, awesome and always worth playing around with. But the specific example of having to pipe around oil over a significant distance is a lot less pressing with the new fluid mechanics in 2.0. Any area of connected pipes or tanks up to 320 tiles long now acts as a single container, giving you essentially infinite internal speed and throughput. Beyond that distance you do need pumps, which do have a throughput limit, but you can have a bunch of them in parallel.
They are amazing! A lot more scalable than having belts or pipes coming in from outposts too since multiple trains can share the same network~ Also its so much fun watching them zooming around!

Real railing action? 👀👀
You know it :3 *finger guns*
