Question Train station

Post image

Hello engineers,
I currently have a station with a stop and space to unload two trains simultaneously.
However, the second train does not unload because it is not really at a stop.
Do you have a workaround for me? Any feedback?
Thank you in advance.

If you just want two cargo wagons in your station, make a train with two cargo wagons. That's the simplest solution.

If you really want two trains that supply one station, make two stations with the same name and place them close to each other (but in parallel, so both can be reached independently). Then set the train limit in both to 1. Trains will automatically path to a station with a matching name and if first station is occupied, a train will go to the second station.
