Ticket based train station with (almost) no visible Redstone

I’m working on a ticket based railway system for my survival world. The selected ticket for your destination is stored in the chest minecart and checked by an item filter at every station.

When you reach your destination an activator rail kicks you out and the train gets recycled into the system.

I designed two modules, one for detecting and recycling arriving trains and one for spawning and starting new ones. By combining these two I can create terminal stations, bidirectional stations with one track or any other configuration of train stations.

All the Redstone is hidden beneath the tracks.

The next step is to develop the switches 🙂
