This is the most energy efficient layout. Gravity will slow trains uphill into the station and then give a boost downhill when leaving. It’s not always possible

- IIAOPSW 4y agoits only more efficient when more people are boarding than leaving.
- vineyardmike 4y agoSorry. It’s not a station that’s partially above and below. Some stations are above ground, some stations are below ground. All stations are three levels: ground + mezzanine + track. Seattle is very hilly so keeping the tracks at shallow grade changes causes the track to be above ground in some area and underground in others.
