How do you all name your train stations? I was using load/unload for a while but wanted shorter names. So I switched to in/out where "in" is a resource input that is deposited by train. This causes some confusion though people thinking "in" means putting stuff in the train. I've also been floating the idea of on/off for putting things on or taking them off the train.

I normally do [Function] - [Location/Base Name]:

  • Iron Pickup - SE
  • Iron Pickup - Northern Defense
  • Iron Dropoff - Main Base

Gets more and more important as the number of bases increase.
