+====Station.gs====
 There is a new station script used in TC to load and unload passengers. The file is Station.gs, found in
 a number of the MN station assets in TC. This script operates two platforms. A second script, Station3track.gs will operate three platforms on one station. By comparing the script differences, modified scripts may be created to operate more than three platforms.
