Hello,
I searched more place in the WWW to find the answer, but I did not find. Manual also too.

I have a train station to which many trains come.
Each of them needs to load another item with Storage Chest (with more diffrent items).

If I have a condition in train "load 100 items somethings".
How to sent this information to the Requesting Chest?

Most guides are helpful but when loading specific item.

u can use "Filler inserter"... and if u have Train with Wagon u can open Wagon and when u will press with Middle Mouse button
u can select item what u want in this "slot"

Just look: just press Middle Mouse Button ^_^

ok, so cannot pass train orders to the logistics network?

No,

you need to have alle the items requested permanently at the loading Station.
Set the filters in the wagens the way you need them and the trains will be loaded correctly.

Make sure that every slot has a filter, else the onoccupied slots will be loaded with random items.
Use an item you don't load as a placeholder if you don't want to use the complete wagon. Or use the red X to make the wagon smaller.

P.S.: Requesting the items just when the has arrived is actually too late. They should be there before the train arrives.

LTN can pass it's train orders to logistic network if you use the 2nd station design from this post and hook up a roboport as shown one post below in Logistic Network to LTN stop filter.

Ok, I used LTN and it works the way I wish, but with some mistakes.

Sometimes the inserts will not be to load the train, so the item stays in their arms.

To prevent overloading use the control signal "Locked Slots per Wagon" and limit stack inserter stack size to reasonable values.
For example I use 5 stack inserter/wagons limited to 10 stack size with 2 locked slots.
