Station properties

Station properties

The station properties window is used in the Tracks menu to edit the station's propertis, including:

• The station name
• The station label display settings
• The station coverage area

The station properties window also has a locator button (next to the "Done" button) to jump to the location of the station.

Station names

Using the "use automatic name" box,

Using station names as tags

As of Version 1.5, NIMBY rails does not support station tags. An advanced strategy is to use the station name as a kind of station tag system, which can help in understanding certain menus that do not support tagged listings, as well as the Accounting export. For example, starting the station name with the stations [1] regional code can make it easier to do regional aggregations on the accounting export.

• Show dominating trips. This functions as an "in game routeplanner" across time.
• Group by destination
• Group by origin
• Group by waited line stop
• Group by next stop

Accounting

Stations have their own Accounting window, showing the accounting events that occured at this station.

Stations as depots

Depots are technically just stations that are used for a particular purpose, storing trains for longer periods of time. Depots do not require any kind of special building to function.

• The station coverage area can be set to zero. This prevents pax from spawning or choosing the depot as a destination.
• The station label display settings can be made less prominent.
