Besides factories and city hall, every building must have road access that connects to the train station.
The best strategy is to line your factories up along the rails, except for the crossing where you need a road. To do this, you must remove the original road which runs the length of the rails. Plus leave an additional green space between factories and your road for houses or whatever.
Your main road will come out perpendicular to the rails at the crossing. Then you can arrange 'blocks' 2 deep and however many you want wide, and organize areas however you like. Also best to have buildings around the perimeter (edge) and roads in between. Leave as many buildings out of storage to maximize your population and mastery stars.
A good way to earn coins is to sell high priced items in your 'City Exchange.'. You can sell some items for much more than you would get otherwise. Also, always keep one store of each type (dining, shopping and building) on the go. I keep my active ones in one place, near my factories, then move the 5-stars off to the edges.
