There is a train on every track and look closely and you can see no less than 5 passenger trains in the station!

Re: Bethlehem 1976
3 Members of my mothers family were all Bethlehem SAR staff members, and that station was the reason the town existed, when they electrified the line the end was nigh, and when they trains stopped the town lost a lot of revenue and the reason to exist. Its shocking how the demise of the train affected the town and its people.
Not quite on the rails.
