Once I had some issues with coal and I noticed, that there is 2.0 water in the pipe instead of 10.0!
The problem was - the water wasn't hot enough and steam engines were consuming much more of that water.
But why 2.0? After some experiments I think I more or less got it.
Normal pipe has a limited throughput. When demand is higher then the pipe can bring through, the number of water in the pipe decreases.
It's like steam engines are sucking all the water in the pipes so that it doesn't even accumulate there.
You might need separate pipes for different set of engines.

And pipes splitting and joining is separate and even more confusing topic

Image cut-out from your video of the iron-mine train loading dock.
I suggest a small change to improve loading balance.
