Usage
The passenger information display system automatically detects any platform rail within four blocks horizontally and at most five blocks below.
If placed close to a platform rail and the platform has upcoming train arrivals, the train arrival's destination and estimated time of arrival (ETA) will be displayed.
If there are trains of different car lengths approacing the platform, the number of cars will be shown as well.
When right clicked with a brush, a custom message can be displayed. Custom messages can also be set to replace existing arrivals. Platform(s) in the same station can be also assigned, this will override the automatic detection.
