The Trouble with Trains

I don't know how much time I spent trying to get an automated train system working at my respawn station, but it's a lot. Building the delivery part was easy, but I found that I sometimes missed the cart as it flew by the front door which was irritating. I tried to build a system to force the cart back around if I wasn't in it... but that didn't work very well. The system kept getting more and more complicated until it looked like this:

Eventually I'd had enough. I removed the automated delivery system and the "come back if empty loop". I figured I could just push the train down a chute from inside the station and hop inside. That made things much easier... although it doesn't look that much less complex on the surface:

With that taken care of, I was free to move along the length of track making it difficult for monsters and animals from getting on the tracks. I built boosters in every cave for both directions and finally finished off the massive hill bridge that had begun this whole project:

Now the only thing left to do was to add safety lighting to prevent monsters from appearing too close to the tracks. I got that finished and in the near future I'll take a test trip at night to see if I can make it without being killed. I think I'll be okay.

I wonder what I'll do next to entertain myself?
