Even in basic state, Boar is best!
Rhinoceros = 140 seconds round trip. Need 9 trips total. Total time = 21 minutes
Falcon = 164 seconds round trip. Need 7 trips total. Total time = 19 minutes 8 seconds
Boar = 188 seconds round trip. Need 5 trips total. Total time = 15 minutes 40 seconds

Answer: Wild Boar
-notes:
ceil(x) means x is rounded up. for example, ceil(1,5) = 2
floor(x) is like ceil but rounded down instead, so floor(1,5) = 1
acc means acceleration
spd means speed
a few extra (mathematically unnessesary) brackets are used in calculations to improve reading.
-trains:
rhino:
3 waggons, 14 acc, 130 spd
falcon:
4 waggons, 3 acc, 160 spd
boar(base):
5 waggons, 6 acc, 95 spd
-facts:
100% durability at all times
25t comp amount
wait time == 20s
2km drive distance (1 trip), so 2000 meter
train speed is running in km/h and a train driving 36km/h is doing 10m in 1 second
>> 3,6 units == 1 meter, which means 2000 meter == 7200 units.
--optional math: 2000 units of distance--
--math stuff for 2 km (7200 units) distance--
this is a lot easier than the 2000 units because all trains are fully accelerated here.
rhino:
acceleration period = 9 (floor(130/14))
distance is ((9*14+14)/2)*9 = 630
630+130x = 7200 | | -630
130x=6570 | | /130
x = 50,5385 plus 9s acceleration period >> 59,5385
ceil(59,5385 *2+20) = 140
ceil(25/3) = 9
9*140 = 1260
>> rhino takes 1260s or 21 minutes
falcon:
4 waggons, 3 acc, 160 spd
acceleration period == 53s (floor(160/3))
distance is ((53*3+3)/2)*53 = 4293
4293+160x = 7200 | | -4293
160x = 2907 | | /160
x = 18,1688 plus 53s acceleration period >> 71,1688
ceil(71,1688*2+20) = 163
ceil(25/4) = 7
7*163 = 1141
>> falcon takes 1141s or 19 minutes and 1 second
boar:
5 waggons, 6 acc, 95 spd
15s acceleration period (trivial, 90/6 = 15)
((15*6+6)/2)*15 = 720
720+95x = 7200 | | -720
95x = 6480 | | /95
x = 68,2105.
>> 83,2105 (with the acceleration period of 15s)
ceil(83,2105*2+20) = 187
ceil(25/5) = 5
5*187 = 935
boar will take 935s or 15minutes 35s.

Fastest: Wild Boar
World: COM03 Smoke Chamber
Train properties:
Let's calculate the time of schedule (1 cycle)
Where:
a=Acc/3.6 -- acceleration
v =Speed/3.6 -- max speed
Ta=v/a -- time to reach max speed
Sa=a*Ta*Ta/2 -- acceleration distance
Sc=2000-Sa -- distance traveled at maximum speed
Tc=Sc/v -- time traveled at maximum speed
T=Ta+Tc -- total time 1-way
Tcycle=2*T+20 -- time to travel 2 ways plus wait time
Total time:
Where:
C=25/traction -- expected cycles (fraction)
C1 = round up C -- expected full cycles
C2 = C1-1 -- expected full cycles (if the train delivers immediately after the start of the race)
'Total time 1'=C1*Tcycle
'Total time 2'=C2*Tcycle
The best train can be determined by 'Total time 1' or 'Total time 2'.
In this task, in both cases, the Wild Boar is better.

falcon time to top speed 53.3 s - distance covered 1.18 - time to cover remaining dist 18.33 giving one way trip 71.66 s + 20 s wait + return 71.66, 7 trips required = 1143.3s
rhino time to top speed 9.3 s - distance covered 0.17 - time to cover remaining dist 50.7 giving one way trip 60.0 s + 20 s wait + return 60.0, 9 trips required = 1260.5s
boar time to top speed 15.8 s - distance covered 0.2 - time to cover remaining dist 67.9 giving one way trip 83.7 s + 20 s wait + return 83.7, 5 trips required = 937.1s

And the winner is... Basic Boar (no upgrades)!!! - Server RO02 - Thanks!
If the train don't have to wait for first load, the calculation is as follow, if it have to wait just add 20 sec to all results.
Falcon will deliver 28t wait for 120 sec and drive 26 km, that totals 1.051,666 sec,
Boar will deliver 25t wait for 80 sec and drive 18 km, that totals 1.168,180 sec,
Rhinoceros will deliver 27t wait for 160 sec and drive 34 km, that totals 1.170,607 sec,
Result: I'll pick the Falcon.

The world just finished EG, hopefully the prize could be sent to the world after restart
The answer is Boar
And the calculation process is provided in the following google excel, the formula used and meaning of each field should be clear from the section header.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17kmsntwirmtrui7jeoikibhy-ls-6zek1bybfydh0_y/edit#gid=0
It assumes, like in real game play, you could time the train so it makes the first delivery right after the competition starts. Although the answer is still the same even if that trick is not used (i.e. the train only starts from city after compeititon starts) and each train requires one more travel to finish the competition.
Hello,
I would send Boar.

Falcon will be the best. Falcon need 36,5 sec for 2000 m, so 1 transport last 93 sec. As it need 7 times for delivery of 25 tons total time will be 594,5 sec. Falcon has go 6 times full route and seventh time only need 36,5 sec.
Rino need to go 9 times and need 47,9 sec for 2000 m. It is automatically worse than Falcon.
Boar need 63,2 sec for 2000 m. As Boar need to go 5 times total time is 648,8 sec : 9x63,2+4x20 sec.
