Freight Depot

From Steam & Steel

The Freight Depot is the main building in every map and where most players construct their main yards.

Upon creating a new save, players, along with the starter locomotive and rolling stock, will spawn at the Depot. The Depot usually consists of two tracks running alongside it in which the starter locomotive and rolling stock spawn, usually accompanied by a Coaling Station.

The Freight Depot is also able to receive and sell any cargo type in the game. Despite this, it is unable to load any objects into a train at the platform, nor does it have any bonuses. All cargo sold to the Freight Depot will sell for its regular demand sell price, so selling goods to their proper industries is usually the better option.
