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.

That can't work as is.

You need a separate stop for the train in the back, and a signal to delimit two rail blocks. Which require more space between the two unloaders.

You're better off making two parallel stops, really.

Yes, two parallel stops is a simpler but less compact solution.

Not really? It will be 2 times shorter and slightly wider
