Railroad Station, Windenburg
I’ve been wanting to make a railroad station for awhile, so I finally got around to it.
This is the entrance to the ticket office.
I have all of my sims divided into clubs by social class--male/female lower, middle, and upper class. The office, which is the only access to the platform and train, is open to all social classes but closed to NPCs.
A cc tea tray that actually makes tea (for my cold travelers to warm themselves up).
The back door of the office leads to the platform where you can wait for your friends to arrive. The carts are for luggage.
The main cabin is open to all classes.
On one side are these booth-type seats.
On the other are individual chairs. That door at the end leads to the dining car.
A refrigerator in the dining area so that people can serve themselves.
This section is open to middle and upper classes. The poor wouldn’t be able to afford an actual dining car.
Back in the main cabin. One door leads to the restroom and the other to a private car. Notice through the door window that there’s a luggage rack that is actually a bookshelf so some of the sims can read on their journey.
The private car in the back. This section is only available to the upper class.
It has overhead space for bags and hats.
Many of the windows in the train have very small TVs half hidden in the curtains. This encourages the sims to sit in the seats and to look as if they’re looking out the window.
Forgive the super lame “wheels.” These were my least lame choice out of many lame choices. I’m still on the lookout for believable train wheels.
Swinging around to the back of the station, the tunnel is made from arches placed close to one another.
These nifty coal carts are from @sparkiekong. Thanks, Sparkiekong!
I plan to make train stations in my 3 major towns: Windenburg (this one), Willow Creek, and Brindleton Bay. I also want something in small towns, like Forgotten Hollow, like maybe just tracks and a platform, combined with some other type of commercial lot.
Officially, this lot is a park. I have an invisible fence that closes off the space between the train and the platform so that sims can’t wander into that area.
Following is some but not all of the cc. I’ll post more for the other sections later. It literally took me over 90 minutes to find all the links for the ticket office! :0

The interior wall of the ticket office is by Mammut at Simszoo.de, and it’s called Stallschonheit (with two dots over the o) Recolour 1. However, I searched several different ways (by creator name, by build items, by title) and could not find it again. It’s on there somewhere if you want to go look. Drop me a comment with the url if you find it!
Tracks, Arch, and Platform cc:
The tracks are made with the industrial metal grate which comes from EA Games, and the “timbers” are made from a low fence.
