Description
On the platform there was: a stone built building, a corrugated iron shelter and a water tower.[4] Next to the single running line there was a passing loop, but towards the demise of the line it was shortened to a siding facing Gwinear Road station.[1]
gollark: There were train lines, but they mostly just serve as decoration for the bot swarms to fly over.
gollark: Bots are used for EVERYTHING - mining, shipping from mines to the main base, transporting *liquid*...
gollark: He has 110k bots, and we hit about 50k in use one time.
gollark: Although I mostly stopped checking because heavpoot's logistic bot army makes my computer very not happy.
gollark: On the osmarksfactorio™, I see vast amounts of poorly designed machinery which will probably never be replaced.
