Park Place Train Station ( #2 Train )

 The Park Place station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line was built on the portion of the line built as part of the Dual Contracts, which is the section south of Times Square–42nd Street. The line first opened as a shuttle to 34th Street–Penn Station on June 3, 1917.

This station has the 2 and 3 trains that run on this track and has free transfer going from downtown to uptown if you need to switch sides in opposite direction. Also free transfer underground to the A and C train on 8th avenue line.

One Island platform.

This Station is 102 years old.

More Filter Applications

Besides making an entire cargo wagon with one type of item, you can also mix them. This is another application where filters come in real handy. Let's say you want to make green circuits and need to bring in iron and copper plates. If you want, you can make a train that has a filtered inventory so it fills up half the cargo with iron plates and then drives on to the next smelting area to fill the rest up with copper plates.

Outputting them at the intended green circuit factory can then be achieved in an orderly fashion by using filter inserters. That way, you can choose exactly where each type of item is going without having to use splitters.

Another possible use for filter inserters is for mixed ore patches. Sure you can filter all the belts with splitters, but setting that up can be quite laborious. It also isn't good for your belt throughput! If you have a full belt of mixed ore and split a fraction of it off, then you'll never get a full belt's worth of throughput. Depending on the size of the ore patch this might not be a problem if you can extract enough lines of belt anyway and merge them together. But still, you just hate to see this don't you?

The easy solution is just filling your train with all the various ores you're getting from the mixed patch (with no filters on the cargo wagon itself, just fill it up with everything you've got!) and then send the train off to go through all the trainstations that take iron/copper/coal/stone one after the other! For each station, schedule the train to leave as soon the number of the respective item hits zero and then go to the next.

If you use filter (stack) inserters at all your trainstations, then only the correct items will be taken from the cargo. Mixed ore patches are no problem at all with this approach, no filtered splitters needed!

Another classic use of filtered inventory slots is a "building train", i.e. a train with all the items necessary for building trainstations, outposts, defences or what have you!

You have to filter the inventory slots, because your inserters don't know what or how much they're supposed to put in the train. And of course you want to be able to send it back to base to restock automatically without having to do it yourself.

So you can set up filters on your wagons to make sure you get a certain number of stacks of the items you want. Without these filters, your inserters would just fill up the inventory with the more readily available items and leave no room for others. Here’s an example of what my building train looks like:

Fourty nuclear bombs may seem like overkill, but you never know how many biters you might run into when scouting for new ore patches! ;)

One thing of note here are the rail tracks in the very first cargo wagon. This is really helpful, because you can reach the first wagon while riding in the front of the train. So if you run out of track in your personal inventory, while manually driving your train and putting down rails in front of you loony-tunes-style, you can just grab more rails from the cargo. The other wagons normally can't be accessed from the front of the train.

Setting up the building train in a new save used to be a lot of work. But you don't have to worry about that anymore, since trains and wagons can be blueprinted now! Meaning you only have to do it once and can then use it over and over again!

The various types of filters can really make your life a lot easier, so it’s good if you know how to use them and keeping the possibilities in mind when building!
