Masonfield is the terminal station for all services from Fanory Mill. The station has 3 platforms, a station building and a ticket counter. The nearby sidings also hold the Class 43 'Swallow' and 'CrocsCountry' spawn points, as well as the spawn points for a few other admin trains. The station can get regularly busy and chaotic, especially since Masonfield Signal Box is often unmanned.
In version 1.2, the station was updated. Platform roofs, an overpass and a station building were added, and more equipment was added to the platforms.
Past the station, an extension is planned and being developed. [1]

Trivia
- Terminating services from Fanory Mill previously couldn't turn around at Masonfield. Their only option was to continue until Pallion Harbour and turn there, which could cause issues with congestion and signalling.
- The switch for Platform 2 and 3 used to be located a few meters up in the air.
- Prior to V1.0, The Class 91 spawned in at Platform 3 using admin commands, while both of the Class 43s and the older version of the Class 37 spawned in at Platform 2.
- Before version 1.2, the station was generally barren, with only a few benches on the platforms and an abandoned steam train in one of the sidings.
