Help - to do with transport

[renerolgeographic 73]

When i go to, for example, place a train station, there is an arrow, does the arrow need to face the rail line for the station to work?

and if it does matter, how do i change the arrow to face?

Orientation doesn't matter as long as the station touches the rail. To rotate the station use the [Home/End] keys, I think, if not use the [Page up/down] keys, it's so automatic for me I don't pay much attention to which one I use.

Home/End....PageUp/Down rotates the map.

I always thought that this little arrow had to touch a road in order for sims to be able to access it. Am I wrong? I guess it really wouldn't affect game play at all if I was, but I'm just curious.

It matters not which way the station faces, but it does need to be next to a road/street/avenue.

The arrows are in relation to what elevation the lot is going to set at. If your road is below the elevation of the tracks and you plop with the arrows facing the road then your station well be plopped level with the road. If you were to turn the arrows to face the tracks then the track level is the level that the station will be set at.

You didn't ask, but it should be obvious that the station has to touch BOTH rail and road in order to move passengers on and off the train.. also of course there have to be at least 2 stations for where they want to go FROM (ie residential) and TO (ie commercial or industry)..
