Underground Cargo train station w/sunken track

Description
Hello happy faces! :-)

Here my Underground Cargo train station where trucks go straight und under and in bonus a sunken rail track
I wanted a cargo train to plop in my city to feed commercial zone but vanilla version is ugly and seems misplaced within the building. So I decided to make one and share!

It can handle a pretty big load of trucks with no speed limit!!!

It looks nice and fit well with "Railway Trench" from GCVos https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=543610836


HOW TO INSTALL:
in the theory it flatten terrain, but using a terraform tool help make things nice :-)
Just draw a small portion of road then You will need "No pillars" mod (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=463845891) and set overlap to plop it. You can then remove the road, switch to collide and connect entry and exit as you wish.

Known bugs:
some stupid (and probably drunk) truck drivers realize they forgot to unload the goods and decide to go for a 180° turn near the exit and go back in front of other trucks! I know, very irresponsible behaviour! :-D but it happens sometimes... (3rd screenshot)

SPECIAL THANKS:
-Bloodypenguin for his awsome jobs and mods! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/bloody_penguin/myworkshopfiles/?appid=255710
-Boformer for also awsome mods and assets! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198035630804/myworkshopfiles/?appid=255710

Final thought:
this is a work in progress! I put some props just to make it not so sad ;-) but they will be remove

This needs a small flat building on top to cover track, maybe a T shape,... waiting for comments or 3D designers/modder who could make me a nice and simple model to cover that.


If finally you decide: bah ugly and useless asset, I strongly recommend you to take a look at Ravenz Cargo loading station (Functional version) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=551619808


Be gentle when you add comments this is my 1st asset! Anyway I'm open to any improvment or suggestions

I am doing a bit of test to see if the problem of 180 degree turn can be solved. As seen in the screenshot above, The despawning happened on the left hand side, right to the words "Highway". I am thinking if I reverse the traffic flow, the cargos would be having a 180 degree turn.

But interestingly, I received a no road access sign after I have connected both ends of the building, that may be the root of the problem...anyone could help?

could you make a cargo station that receives the trains from the underground?

I can install it, but I can't get any trains to use it. I've plopped it in my city, near all the commercial zones, and trains should be coming from my industrial area, but they won't go to this station!?!?

could you please add a double track station as well? Very good little station that is great for traffic control. Thanks

For all of those people wishing to install/place the building -

Step 1) Put down a normal road - Any kind will do, you'll delete it later

Step 2) Using the NoPillars Mod (I have a box on the bottom left) I select No Collision (+No Zoning) from the bottom of the two drop down boxes (Zoning/Collision) - This means the building won't "collide" when you're looking to place it down

Step 3) Change the Zoning/Collision type back to "Default" and install the rail conenctions and road connections

Step 4) Profit????

The trucks from this station drive past the building on their return, u-turn at the exit of the cargo station and illegally drive reverse down the one way road to despawn at the station.

It's like returning vehicles *must* pass the exit point of the cargo station before they can despawn. A pity, a nice station apart from this mishap... :(

Maybe the tunnel roads are too steep, making them a lil longer could help. I do like this idea thou.
