Power plant near by, or fairly close by at least. Then build a two station
wide by 3 tile long station...
I'll try and make one here _ \ / is one section of track

<> is going to be a two way signal
= is one station tile..
C is the depot\
________<>= = =

C_/\_<>= = =
so basically you want one track is the incomeing track below its the
top one of course, and two and actually three trains can service a station
like this, two would be loading and a third would either be at a siding(another
important thing in this game) or in the depot. make the track connect to
another station that looks like this one by the other industry. Also if there
is a good deal of track between them you will have to put sidings in,
basically a siding is a branch of track that follows the line and is right
next to the main line, make sure that the siding is long enough to fit
your longest train, that means when you start building if the trains are
an engine and 5 cars that means that its three tiles long, so that means
that you need 3 tiles for the train. That means from where it branches you
will need to got 5 tiles, three for the train and one on either side of the
train for signals. like this the "< and >" are one way signals, making
sure that the trains will pass each other and keep the track running smoothly:
__________>___________________>_____
main line \ /
second \<_________________</
This is a simple single line setup ^^
The good thing is that the station is about the same for complex lines too,
except that you use a "RORO" which is a Roll on Roll off. which looks like
this:
_______>___<>= = =_>____>____
\__<>= = =_>___/
Usually the key with this style station is having the next station
(or a way point) be past the station, other wise it will try and go
back through(most of mine try to but thats because I don't use this
station much) The trick with the signal. is that even though everything
is going one way(in this case to the right) the second signal has to be
a two way(if a train is coming it won't go through to the platform with the
other train, but it also won't go to the free one. The signal must be 2 way
to let the trains know if one or the other is blocked!
Once you have more then three or so, thats when you need to double the track.
A real simple production, if it's a single line with a few sidings, just go
from there, use the existing track and follow a similar path that is
right next to or close to the existing track. Then whatever the first track
goes at the siding make that the way that whole side goes, and do the
same for the other side, whatever the siding direction is make that side
go that direction. Now the trains are going to go even smoother. Most
of the time I end up using the first basic setup for this and move the
depot to the bottom or the top of where all the tracks meet. and then
attach the incoming and out going tracks. Most of the time there aren't
many bottlenecks either. Unless I don't have enough station platforms
or they all decide to go to the depot at the same time.
Also for busy tracks, you can also add train depots to main lines that
are force depots.. in other words it looks like this..:D well I'm gonna
try:D The A is a depot facing down, the D is a depot facing the left
The key with this is the signals... put them in at the break point where
the line splits and that way if one way is blocked the next train is forced
to the second depot line..and also the second key is to make sure that the
track to the depots go directly in to the depo then right back out
A
some thing like /_\ won't work unless the bottom part is taken out. that
forces the train into the depot.. handy if you don't have servint change on :D
and it keeps the trains very, very reliable.
Key:
> and ^ are signals
the A is a depot facing down, and D is a depot facing the left
and _ and /,\ are track
______________D

Duel lines, go like this
--------->--------------------------->----------------
---------<---------------------------<----------------
And to add a station, it's simple, usually this is a main line.
so to add a station all you do is find out which was it goes. So
if it goes to one way like if it has to go to the right you will do this
the \ that is going to the right has a signal(I don't think I could find
a character that is a angle going that way that makes a signal look.) and
there is also a going right signal right before the juction as well, the same
area as the last signal that I didn't put in, also put one on the other track
going towards the bridge so that the main line doesn't get cluttered. and make
the split going to and from have a two way signal and have a one way going
towards and from that junction.. These are called Spurs(I think:D)
-- is track
> or < is signal

Attempting to make multiple cross junction with this simple program. :D
The X's are the tunnel, the "?" is signals pointing in one way whatever way
the line goes.
- / \ | are track
V ^ > < are one way signals. Some signals are on diagonal track and
are shown as ^ or V.. but they go diagonally so FYI for ya..:D
The key with this system is Always build the exit before the entrance!! or
your entering trains will block the line try to come on and your exiting train
will have to wait, like if I had the top right exit after the the entrance
the trains would stop each other. the way this is set up, with particular
attention to the fact of the signal between the exit and entrance "ramps" that
will allow the exiting trains to go through the signal before the split, other
wise it would stop. Also note the fact I used tunnels.. much better then
bridges for the fact that you can build a signal right before the tunnel on the
sloped track!! So where ever possilbe connections are use tunnels not bridges!
A side note you aslo can have a lot of enhanced tunnels this way which kinda
makes it interesting to watch:D That is building the track that goes over the
tunnel going over the tunnel entrance saving time on having to go around it..
and makes the tunnel shorter. I used the crap out of this switch.
It's a nice ground saver:D
