Some tracks have specific addresses, displayed by track ID signs on both ends of the track. This address indicates the location of the track and its purpose, for example "C-06S". "C" in this case represents a specific yard name this track belongs to, within a station. "06" indicates a specific track within that yard.

Some tracks have specific addresses, displayed by track ID signs on both ends of the track. This address indicates the location of the track and its purpose, for example "C-06S". "C" in this case represents a specific yard name this track belongs to, within a station. "06" indicates a specific track within that yard. These names facilitate navigating between tracks and can also be referred to from the schematic station map.
The last character in the track ID serves to indicate the purpose of the respective track. It can be:
I – Input:
This is where freight haul deliveries arrive.
O – Output:
This is where freight haul deliveries depart from.
S – Storage:
This is where empty cars are stored for shunting and logistical haul deliveries.
L – Cargo Transfer:
This is where cars are loaded and unloaded, using the cargo transfer machine.
LP – Passenger Transfer:
This is a track with a platform where the passengers and mail get transferred from.
SP – Passenger Storage:
This is where coaches and railcars are parked.
P – Parking:
This is where locomotives are parked.
