Move your mouse cursor over the desired train station to find out in advance, how much the expansion project would cost. A tool-tip will appear, showing the total expenses. Tracks Must Be Connected Now it`s time to introduce the one major disadvantage of trains in comparison to other vehicles. The only way you can build functioning train tracks is by connecting them to other tracks or a train station. 24 25 Expand Length of Train Station Follow the same steps to expand the length of a train station. Train stations are available in three different lengths. Of course, once the largest type of train station has been constructed, you cannot expand it any further. By the way, you could always use the shortest train stations in the game. However, when longer trains arrive, that do not fully fit the station, you will have to reckon on much longer loading times. Loading Crane Decrease loading times for heavy goods by including a loading crane in one or more of your train stations. Storehouse Decrease loading times for general cargo by including a storehouse in a train station. Repair Maintenance is important for all vehicles, to avoid break-downs. Therefore, you have to build repair shops in train stations (and in all other types of terminals). If the train station or terminal serves as a regular destination for a vehicle, that vehicle will automatically be repaired and maintained when it stops at the train station or terminal. If a vehicle only passes through a train station with a repair shop, it will not be repaired or maintained. But you don`t have to build these expensive repair shops in every train station. How many you will need depends on the length of the route and the type of vehicle running on the route. Certain vehicles are quite susceptible to damages and breakdowns; therefore they must be maintained and repaired more often. By the way, vehicles only age and become damaged when they are in use, i. e. That means, if a vehicle is simply standing around in a train station, its condition will not become worse. Cold Storage A cold storage will also decrease turnover times. Obviously this serves for all perishable goods. Kiosk, Restaurant and Hotel This train station expansion can offer additional or more income for passenger transport. You can reckon even a small kiosk with few passengers is worth the investment. Restaurants are good for train stations with average passenger transfer. And for a hotel to be worthwhile, you`ll have to have quite a few passengers that use the train station. Modernise a Train Station After a certain number of years you will have the possibility to modernize old train stations. To modernize a train station, click on the respective symbol and then on the desired train station. And what`s that supposed to be good for? [. . . ] We can see a total of 4 block sections (1-4), secured through main signals. 10 11 If a train now leaves A, it will enter block section 1. This section is then blocked for all other trains. Another train leaves B in the direction of A, thus blocking block section 4. The first train`s route leads into block section 2. [. . . ]
