Electric Grove Station was the second station on the Akita South Line on the Survival 5 world of the Dogcraft Server. The station was designed and built by NeoFiore, after the location was offered up for building by Akita South Line Manager 
Montenator, on the SRN/NTN Discord Server. The station opened in a joint opening with Moor Station on the 10th of August 2022. Electric Grove served as a station on the Akita Ring Line, which ran around the greater spawn area of Akita, intersecting the four cardinal lines at their second stations.
Construction
Initially, Moor Station was the intended design for the second station of the Akita South Line. However, after scouting out the terrain, Montenator noticed the south of Akita consisted largely of a giant ocean, with the nearest land suitable for Moor Station to be built on well over 2000 blocks away from South Station. It was decided that instead of having one longer than average line between South Station and Moor Station, an intermediate station would be built, creating two shorter than average lines. Due to the lack of land in the ocean, the station was built on a small group of islets, just off the coast of 
Kronolak's base. The station side was put of for taking on the SRN Discord, with NeoFiore volunteering to build the station.
Design
The station took the form of a mangrove, with various shacks and buildings nestled within the canopy. This style was inspired from the treehouse in the 1960 film, 'The Swiss Family Robinson'. The station also served as the center of NeoFiore's new redstone college, hence the giant redstone core at the center of the station. The station had all the standard station features, with crafting tables, ender chests, network maps and a map of the surrounding area. Beds were found through taking a small walkway to a shack at the top of the mangrove, while NTN connections were located on the islet beneath the station, nestled into the trunk of the trees. Next to the nether portal was a small boat dock which connected up to the wider CSC network.
The station contained two main line connections, one northbound towards South Station, while the other led southbound towards Moor Station. In addition to this, two other terminals provided connections to the future Akita Ring Line, with Electric Grove Station being the converging point between the Akita Ring Line and the Akita South Line. The station also had a small minor line terminal upon request of Kronolak which planned to connect up his nearby base with the station.
