Trade route question

[SwiftMunkeh]

Hi everybody, didn't see a questions thread, hopefully I didn't miss it. My question is for trade, toward the beginning of the game, as early as settling your 2nd city and getting your first trade route. When you select your first trade route why can you not trade with one of your own cities, is there a generic requirement to be met? Example, I have my main city 7 pop 10 hammers +5 food and I settle city 2, what requirements do I need to meet to start sending city 2 food. So far it has yet to be a option till later in the game. Thanks in advance!

Granary.

Another question: Collossus affects land trade routes? the wording says yes, but just to be sure. thanks

Granary for food. Workshop for hammers.

To be a little more clear: at least one of your cities must have a Granary in order to trade food to another of your cities, and one must have a Workshop to trade production to the others. You do get a bonus for having the same building in both cities, as well.
