New Grand Central

New Grand Central is now fully operational
Myself and SuperStrife have been working all weekend and it is now up and running.
The station features a single departure point for all rail locations. Check the board in the front,
and push the button correlated with the color at the station.
You will be powered up a hill and switched to your desired location. If you happen to launch an empty cart, it will simply be returned to you. The station is currently servicing 4 rails, but is awaiting another 2 in case of future expansion, all you need to do is add rail to the switched lines at the end. If a 7th line is needed as some point it can be made available with a small modification to the station.
Perhaps the best feature is the cart dispenser, pressing a button will drop a cart from above directly into position and ready to use.
The next cart in the dispenser queue will move up and be ready for the next user to request. Just remember to fill it from time to time by dropping a cart to the right of the station on the track labeled as such.
If you don't there is an indicator light letting you know the dispenser is empty. If it is, there is nothing stopping you from placing you own cart and being on your way. There is also a return if someone tries to overfill it, you will simply have your cart returned if you ignore the indicator saying the dispenser is full.
We will be tweaking the look of the station over the coming days and will make some functionality improvements, however you should not notice any interruption of your regular service.
We will ask that no one attempt to gain access to the stations interior workings, gumming up the dispenser is a pain to fix, and tracing the switching circuit for problems is a pain as well.

The new look
Improvements:
1.Revamped the return lines to a central place
2.New entrance to make easier access from spawn
3.Grand Central sign in iron to awe newcomers of our prowess
4.Working Clock Tower (Counts 20 mins intervals, a 12 hour clock would be two big)
5.Flowers around the fountain for beautification
The cart dispenser is not working currently at Grand central. We've tested with both Builders and Non builders and pushing the button does not send a cart.
