* Might want to decide on a standard functional design for tracks/stations. Wood underneath all the rails? Bells at each stop? 15 long boosters for stations? How about using chest carts for testing of rigour? (They require more energy than normal carts) [[User:Schererererer|Schererererer]] 06:13, 24 March 2011 (CDT)

* For cart loading, check out the westbound departure area of Foggy Bottom station.  The only improvement I can think of over this is to have an upward slope leaving the station, so that carts pushed out of place roll back to their proper location.  By keeping the cart on rail at (almost) all times, you make it a lot less likely that the cart will be pushed onto the booster track.  Also note the empty-cart return mechanism.[[User:Inio|Inio]] 14:17, 24 March 2011 (CDT)
