In any larger city, there are rapid transit systems, i.e., trains with a high capacity and schedule frequency. I built such a train, along with a station, located somewhere in the suburbs of a typical city.

Two ballastless tracks enclose the concrete train station, while a noise barrier protects the local residents from the train’s noise. Both tracks feature an overhead line for other (main-line) trains, while the rapid transit here uses the third rail. The line RT7 ends here, which is why a buffer stop is located on the track’s end. Three train signals denote whether the rapid transit means are allowed to run. In front of the noise barrier, an advertisement sign (“Keep trained!”) tries to attract the people for the rapid transit trains.

On the station, where an underground staircase leads to, there are two benches, a trashcan, two platform displays with clocks, a gumball machine and a ticket machine. Three signs show the arriving travelers where they are and a fence leads down some stairs for the conducting personnel to operate with the train driver.

The model consists of 3564 parts and 11 minifigures, so 3606 parts in total, and measures 64 x 32 studs.
