How do you all name your train stations? I was using load/unload for a while but wanted shorter names. So I switched to in/out where "in" is a resource input that is deposited by train. This causes some confusion though people thinking "in" means putting stuff in the train. I've also been floating the idea of on/off for putting things on or taking them off the train.

I am usually doing [Station purpose] - [resource] [in/out] E.g. iron ore smelter - iron ore in iron ore smelter - fuel in iron ore smelter - iron plates out (where iron ore and fuels is going INTO the station, and iron plates are going OUT of the station)

Makes it pretty clear, and has never failed me yet.
