John,

Yes. this would notbe be a bad idea to create each stop as a waypoint from 
either start to end for a train route. Then just make sure you have 
sequential route following on and every so often the user can hit k to see 
what the next waypoint is, in this case it would be hte distance to the next 
train stop, direction, and the name of the stop. This methodology also works 
very well in the fields, as I have tried it.
