Waters Edge Station, or Waters Edge for short, is a SRN station on the Sheltie East line on the Sheltie world of Survival 6. It is located on a beach approximately 2300 blocks east of spawn, near the base of 
Buzzmegged.
The station is the second station on the Sheltie East line and is the connection point for the South-East section of the ring line.
Design and Construction
The station is designed as a beach house and is completely elevated on wooden posts. The station was designed specifically for this location after 
XPModder had determined this beach to be the ideal place for his second station.
Being located on a beach, the design decision for such a beach house was quickly made and soon inspiration was found online. After building Sheltie East Station, which is really big, XPModder decided on a relatively small scale for a station.
Due to the station being elevated off the ground and on wooden posts, the minecart system used in SRN stations could not, like usual, be located underneath the station. Therefore the minecart system used in this station was specifically designed to fit the rather unusual shape and space requirements here. As such, the minecart system is actually located on the top floor in both sides of the building. Additionally the rail connections are actually located on 2 different levels, with the 2 mainline connections being located on the lower floor, facing north and south and the brachline connections being located on the upper floor, both facing east.
The station also includes a CSC port, due to being located directly next to a ocean. A small dock is connected to the station via the front path.
The station was constructed in survival by XPModder, mostly using surplus acacia from East Station and dark oak from chopping the trees in the location of both East Station and Grand Central Station.
The line connecting the station to East station was also constructed by XPModder in only a couple of days after the station had been finished.
Opening
Waters Edge was opened in a big opening event together with the Grand Central Stations on both Sheltie and Retriever on the 3rd of march 2024.
The opening started at Retriever Grand Central Station (RGCS), built by 
Minda905 with a ceremoneous cutting of a giant ribbon in front of the station. After this all attending players explored the station and participated in head hunt, where 8 of a special miniblock had been hidden throughout the station and needed to be found. Players finding all 8 hidden miniblocks could receive one such miniblock as a prize.
After players had some time to participate in the head hunt, they moved to Sheltie and Sheltie Grand Central Station was opened. Here another head hunt with a different special miniblock took place and players explored the entire station.
Finally the attending players made their way to East Station, with some riding the rail line and others using elytra, horses or other means of transport. With everyone at East Station, they then started travelling the new line to finally arrive at Waters Edge and thus Waters Edge was also officially opened.
Just as the opening seemed to arrive at its conclusion, 
renthedog himself joined the server and the crowded voice chat and came to the station.
This made Waters Edge the first SRN station of Survival 6 to be visited by rendog!
After rendog had explored the station, everyone made their way back to East Station and then further back to Sheltie Grand Central Station, as rendog wanted to also visit both Grand Central Stations. After he had explored both Sheltie and Retriever Grand Central Stations he further explored Retriever Spawn town visiting the RHN shelter and then the CSC port. Everyone then travelled by boat and then by road from Spawn port to Termite Shelter and then to the Retriever NTN, where rendog visited the NTN Hub.
The entire event ended up as a huge success and one of the most memorable moments of Survival 6 so far!
