Trains, pick up and drop off from same bay?

[GwaihirWindLord]

Is it possible to have a Train Station, and have one train unload at the first bay and a different train load from the same bay? I know I can tell a train what item to upload, but I want one to pick up there and another to drop off.

I.e. I have a Train Stations A, B, and C. I want train Dog to pick up computers from A and drop them off at B and then have train Cat pick up computers from station B and drop them off at C. AFAIK I have to move them from Bay 1 to Bay 2 via conveyor to do this (or have 2 stations at stop B)

Trains always stop in the same spot meaning if you want a train to drop off to the second bay you need to make sure what its dropping off is in the second cargo car back. Since the bays can only unload OR load (never both) you already have to swap items out of one bay from DOG to some other bay so that they will load onto CAT. Personally I try to not mix loading and unloading bays in the same station. I would build a second station back to back to the first where one loads and one unloads and you can transfer between the two with a quick belt.
So if B is not doing anything but acting as a transfer point its a quick and easy setup plus it allows the trains to operate at the same time without waiting for the other to be out of the way.

I have a similar setup where I bring in multiple trains from different directions to one main hub. They all share one drop off station. but then I have a much larger station and more bays that loads on to a train that goes to factory that uses all this one material. So here I have two stations. The small one takes in 1 and 2 car drop offs then its gets dumped into a 6 bay station right next to it where a much larger train will grab everything.
