Cargo bypass jig

I made this to simplify placing cargo stations and thought it was worth sharing.

All you have to do is clear a space in an existing line or plant this where you plan to run a line eventually. Then delete the gravel road, place the station, connect the loose ends of the track, and you're done. No more guesswork about how everything will fit.

This also include a bypass/turnaround so the station can send/receive freight from both directions without blocking the main line.

I have another jig that simplifies attaching the station directly to the line without the bypass/turnaround feature. Both the direct and the bypass jigs are also available for the passenger station as well.

This is the jig in the lower left of the pictures. I included a shot of the jigs before placing everything and one after they had stations and rail connections all finished so you could better see how they work.
