Your welcome... Incidentely, I can't figure out how to do it in a big city 
with lots of tall buildings without destroying the buildings around it. 
Frequently the buildings are too high to even see the station. If you use 
the "hide buildings" view and right click where you're supposed to, you end 
up blowing up the building. It's rather ridiculous actually... I should only 
be able to blow up buildings if I'm in "clear land" mode.

It's just one of the many things which Locomotion could have been a lot 
better on...
