Another great thread Cyberia, nice going!

Here's a couple of useful things I was able to dredge up from the web.

"In terms of freight wagons, some of the more major German types were:

Type SSmys and Sa 705 six-axle heavy load wagon (for heavy tanks, etc)
Type SSy "Koeln" four axle medium to heavy load wagon
Type R10 two axle, open stack wagon (about 9.400kg/20723lbs payload)
Type R10 "Stuttgart" two axle, open stack wagon with a brake-house
Type Ommr "Dresden" and "Linz" two axle box cars; (these are they wagons seen in movies transporting the MG or light FLAK crews in some sort of sandbagged protective position)
"Villach" type two axle open goods wagons (about 10.000kg/22.246lbs payload)
Type OOt "Saarbruecken" four axle coal transporter
Type Om "Breslau" two axle, open goods wagon with a brake-house"

"One of the biggest problems one can encounter in the railroading business is that of developing an optimal time schedule and being able to adhere to it in a reasonable fashion. From the German perspective, the following types trains (and in order of scheduling priority) had to be considered in German rear and front areas:

Troop transportation trains; their movement and special troop transfer requirements.
Supply trains
Empty trains which had just unloaded and were returning for a new run.
Military Post/military mail trains
Medical evacuation trains; hospital trains.
Rest and Relaxation trains.
POW trains
Construction and repair/workshop trains"
