Ever wondered how to bring in cargo traffic by rail from across your city and create a compact hub so cargo can transfer between rail networks?

Are you also having lots of problems with your cargo traffic getting jammed up due to level crossings or having to create elaborate bridge or tunnel systems?

This solution could be the answer to your problems.

Based on the now derelict St Johns Terminal in New York, It's a modular rail cargo terminal that has been revamped to fit in within the Cities Skylines world. It's ideally situated in factory or dock areas, it's also suitable to be placed reasonably close to your city centre as the noise levels have been reduced as much as possible. As it's quite a large complex building I've also reduced the costs involved of the assembled parts to help city builders on a tight budget.

The complete building includes 4 sets of train lines, 4 large warehouses and an optional toll booth entry way.

The building will enable cargo trucks to transfer between lines as well as being a hub to send and receive goods to the four corners of your map via rail. The elevated tracks mean all your train traffic can cross over roads without the need for ramps or tunnels and allows truck and other road traffic to move around the building with ease.

There's an optional toll booth asset included in the collection so you can even add a little income from all the cargo vehicles using the hub.

The building can also be used as warehouses only without rail access. A door prop has been included in the collection to block off the openings that were required for the trains.

This video shows how to assemble the complete building. Anarchy mods will be needed to place all the parts of the building together.

TM:PE is also highly recommended along with Vanilla+ roads to give your self maximum flexibility when designing the road layout around the building. This building will initially create a lot of traffic when it is first placed as the warehouses are filled so you will have to manage your traffic well.

I've kept the building reasonably uncluttered so detailers can add props and decals as required as well as keeping the number of required props low.

Lots of thanks to Avanya for the use of her CIM branding. I definitely recommend checking out her collection of assets.

The whole thing assembled for some reason generates a lot of traffic going around the buildings. Especially cross-warehouse traffic. There are lots of trucks delivering between the 4 given WH, from the description it looked like the traffic between them would be handled inside them, is that not correct? To be clear I followed the video to the letter, including the one-way road built around exactly as shown but excluding the tollbooth. And incoming cargo trucks for some reason also seem to prioritize the delivery to the far side of the WH as seen if following the road, again unexpectingly for me.

The tunnel road is there so the individual platforms have a road to connect to. The trucks do unload via that road but they also can access the terminals from the opposite end of the completed building.

I'm curious, is the tunnel through this building solely for the road connection of the platforms or is this an unloading point for the trucks?
