History

Beginnings

Crespin Grove Railway Station was built in 1906 by a small railroad company, under the name "Jones P. Hawson Memorial Rail Station". Nobody knows what the name of the company was because the relatively small company went out of business about 2 months after it's completion. When it was originally built, it was a small wooden station with slate roof tiles. The station only had about 4 employees, and was lavishly decorated with mahogany and oak.

Later History

After another rail company took the station, an accident on July 22nd, 1922 at about 11:57 PM caused the station to burn the the cinderblocks that made the foundation. It was rebuilt under the name "Crespin Grove Railway Station" about 20 years later in 1942, when rail traffic reached it's height due to military shipments. This design was not too different from the original, but had toilets, electric lamps, and telephones added to the building. In 1974, The building was refurbished, replacing everything. The refurbishment was finished in early '75, leaving us with pretty much the same station we know now. The decor was changed in late '82, changing it to zebra stripes and orange. It was about 3 years later that the AVRail 288 accident occurred. After the AVRail 288 accident, the station's safety features were renovated. The yellow line by the tracks was moved back by about 3 feet. The support posts were removed and the roof was fitted with an internal suspension-bridge like support system. Minor changes from then on out changed the station's primary decor colors to grey and blue, installed LED departure boards, cell phone kiosks were constructed, and the parking lot was enlarged.

The Zombie Apocalypse

On July 3rd, 2005, the zombie outbreak occurred in Dakerstown. The government called every train out of Malton before instituting the famous quarantine. At Crespin Grove Railway Station, people wishing for immediate evacuation received it (That was before the government called the trains out). But when the government stepped in, the riot cops kept civilians back as they unloaded the trains and took off. It was several weeks later when the riot fences were finally demolished. Now, it sits abandoned.

NecroNet Reports

Zombie tracking reports are a free service provided by the NecroTech corporation to all its staff and local survivors in order to help facilitate quicker response times when managing zombie threats and to build a greater awareness of zombie migration patterns within the 9x9 block region around the Foreman Building. As a cautious reminder, only those zombies tagged with the DNA Extractor will appear on these scans, so actual numbers may vary when dealing with older zombies (i.e. Brain Rot).

NOTE: Crespin Grove Railway Station is located three west from the Foreman Building, and this scan is included here to keep local survivors informed on nearby zombie migration patterns.
