Currently, the world record for distance places a second water tank in the rear and then replaces the water in the front with a crafting wagon with two dynamite wagons near the back, in front of the water. There are two reasons for this: ideally, you want your water tank further back and your tracks as far forward as possible. Jumping the crafter to the front solves both of these problems at the same time, and it's fairly inexpensive.

===Engines & Speed===
When do you buy that engine upgrade? Well, if you have an experienced team, you can push to 600-700m fairly safely in the first biome. With that said, the world record pushes it to double that on Easy and over 1000m on Hard. Ideally, you want to avoid buying a new engine until the train is going too fast for your team. That will vary based on your team's experience level of course. You should be trying to push the speed as high as possible and feel comfortable playing at around 0.650m/s.
