Two Lakes Station is the third station on the Shepherd East Line, on Survivial 5. It forms part of the SRN network.
About
The station aims to reflect a rural area, with pleasant surroundings, a nice canal - oh, and a massive mining complex! The station is located within the bounds of the Leon claim, and may in the future form part of the Leon metro project. Currently, the station reflects its rural origins quite well! The station links two small lakes together through a small canal, however, at the time of writing, the station does not have a CSC port. The station has a small set of stables, however, they are not connected to the rest of the RHN. The station has a NTN nether portal, but it is not connected (it leads directly into a bastion).
The station contains all the classic SRN staples we all know and love (including a much desired log book!), as well as map of the area. This area includes the station's original ticket booths, which are still in service today. Outside, the Leon regencies flag is represented on the Winding tower.
Outside is a few small boats, two from Leon, and a small canal boat too.
History
The station was designed when together Slomo_1994 and the Leon City planners realsised the journey from Kriwick to Leon would be too long for a single line, and that another station should be slotted in. Two Lakes was that station, and the idea spurred from a conversation while scouting, when one player noticed there was a mine in the area. Quickly, an idea started to form, with the plan being for a mining complex on a small natural barrier between the two lakes. The designer felt it would be nice to make more of the waterways accessible by boat, and so a small canal was designed (in lore, this is probably used for Leon patrol ships, and ships carrying cargo from the mine elsewhere).
The winding tower was inspired by the iconic Big Pit winding tower, at the museum of the same name near Pontypool, South Wales.
In terms of lore, more about Two Lakes and the entirity of the East Line can be found on this page.
