West Station (Shepherd) , the traditional name for the first SRN station West of Spawn, was the first connection on the Survival 5 - Shepherd West-Line and the first station to open on the Shepherd world.

Design & Location

West Station is located pretty close to spawn compared to traditional distances between stations. It's a little bit over 1000 blocks from spawn, making it a short journey to the station. The station sits on a landscaped platform in front of a small mountain. The station was inspired by a real life station, the trainstation of Aalst - East Flanders, Belgium. The main blockpalet for the station consists of Granite, Andesite, Stone and Bricks, with Dark Oak for roofing and flooring. The station platform sits seperately on a higher level from the actual station building to create more dept to the build.

Station Facilities

The station has everything a traveler is looking for. On the platform you'll find some benches to have some rest, but inside the station building we have a room full of beds on the first floor for those who need some sleep. A ladder will take you up to the tower, from where people can jump off and spread their wings. Down below on the ground level we find a map, enderchest, crafting bench, anvil and stone cutter for people to use. A portal to the NTN is also provided at the center of the building.

With the station being so close to spawn, it was decided not to provide branchlines. To offer people a way to make an easy connection to the station a large RHN stables and reststop were integrated into the design. Thanks to TyrantrumGOD a first network of the RHN was already created West-bound of the station.

History

The Station build was started within a month of the server launching. Skelleton123 however underestimated the amount of work it would take to finish the station and had to re-evaluate the amount of time it would take to finish. In the end it took about 6 weeks to gather all the blocks and build up the station and it's surroundings.

On May 12th a building session was organised to finish off the track towards spawn. 5 Hours were provided to put in the track, it took the present helpers only 51 minutes to actually complete the work. Another bad calculation on Skelleton's side. Big thanks to Chickzie, Mika_Panda, Wanderer_06, Eybwam3 and Montenator for their help on finishing the track so fast!
