Collector Wagon
The collector wagon has the unique ability to gather nearby materials that are lying on the ground and fill them directly into the Storage on the train. It cannot collect unharvested resources. Also, if there's no space in storage for a specific kind of resources, that kind of resources will not be vacuumed. Collector gather one kind of resources at a time, when the Storage is full of one of them, the Collector will start gathering the other resource. The wagon must be fueled with wood that will slowly deplete after a short period. Upgrades will increase its working speed, absorbing range and fuel capacity.
Strategy
Note that collector might have a negative effect when trying to solve "Stack "X" commodities on a single pile" missions, since it will just "help" pick them up.

* Note that the pick-up speed only increases with superchargers after level 3, this is a special supercharger power like the instant crafting for the Crafter wagon. For example, if you put two boxes on a Collector in Time Mode, it will have a pick-up speed of 1.5.
