Port Thomas Central Station

Port Thomas Central Station is the primary minecart railway station of Port Thomas. It is the largest railway station on the server with four lines being served. The station houses a Sparksucks Coffee shop, a comprehensive rail map wall, as well as a ticket counter and administration offices. The station opened in March 2019 and replaces the old station of the same name and is located on the site of the Small Pyramid that was destroyed during the 2019 Pyramid Bombing.
== Description ==
The station's main entrance is through a large stone building on James Street. The building houses management offices for the station and other facilities upstairs. A double staircase takes visitors to the first basement level where ticket sales are located. A second set of stairs bring visitors down to a mezzanine over the main platform concourse, which has a Sparksucks Coffee at the north end. The last sets of stairs access the platform concourse where all minecarts arrive and depart. The Southern Line and the Airport Express line both terminate here, whereas the Central Line and Jackson Line both pass through. Opposite the main staircase there is an annex, which houses a large rail map and a second exit. The second exit takes visitors to Spawn Point via a short tunnel. 
The second exit in Spawn Point also has the unusual effect of making the building taller. The second exit is the lowest open air exit to the building, so the total height of the building is measured from Spawn Point to the the tip of the main building on James Street, despite these point being about 100 m away and in different boroughs.

The original station was the first railway station on the server. Predating powered rails, it originally used booster carts to propel carts along its single line towards Capital Gate. Over the years lines were added to and removed from the station. The building ultimately housed three routes atop a tall building with a woefully inadequate footprint. These routes were finally moved to the already overcapacity underground platform in 2015 and the above ground portion of the building (besides the entrance) was abandoned.
In January 2019 the pyramid bombing vacated a large section of land in the city centre. It was decided to move out of the patchwork station and build a large, fit for purpose station on the new site. Construction began in the days after the bombing and was completed on 9 March 2019.
