Container Transfer with claw machine and rail

Description
This building incorporates features of the vanilla Railway Dump and a Transfer for garbage containers:

Trains can be unloaded at a faster speed by the Claw machine while waste is being directly filled into big garbage containers.
But loading of trains from this station is slower than a typical station with claw maschines, as those containers are a bit too small for the claw to function at an optimum.

Waste Trucks for big containers interact with these storage containers at their typical fast speed.

(Works especially well with a connected cargo harbor and one of my waste ships.

@Vimes Sounds like a valid explanation, at least to me.

I think the pollution aspect could be that open skips, as these are, will very much pollute if hazardous waste is stored in them. That is to be expected, it is open waste after all.

If you use the small containers, with lids, in the game to store hazardous waste, I have not tested this, then there could be an argument if that would still pollute, after all they are contained.

Perhaps, some expect hazardous waste to not pollute in these open type skips..?

@Alvin Sry for the long time without response. I tried looking into you pollution issue, but I couldn't find a reason for the difference in game mechanics. The .ini file of both buildings is basically the same except for the crane loading for trains. If this should be the reason the building pollutes, I can't find a way to fix this issue.
Anyways, if anybody has a solution, I'd be glad to hear about it.

about your error: I didn't change anything in this mod the last few months. Also, there is no error when I load the building. Where is it displayed to you?

error message. You must have made a typing mistake

So sad that train liading ist slow, i am searching for a Building tha allows a fast train loading. Even the Vanilla claw ones Work at snails pace...

@Arkin45 Is the Transfer for big waste containers.

@Alvin really? So this building pollutes, you say? And which vanilla buildings are you referring to, that don't pollute? Maybe I can look into it, but I didn't see an option why this building pollutes.

unfortunately it seems that the building still pollutes, contrary to what buildings with containers should

Many thanks for creating this as well as your other two ships to help with the waste update. Most appreciated.

@Furst as this is based on the original game building, I didn't want to change the setup much. Also I feel like a Factory connection crossing rail tracks isn't very logical.
