Hienrich Terminus is a station located at the south of Pi Ching Island, its the terminus of the Gladilton, Li Peng and Heinrich Branch service, for a small station its has some interesting design features, like the big wooden shed/canopy and the balloon loop, when it was first built in 1926, only tank engines were use on this area, they would arrive and then turn around using the loop, nowadays, theres track points in case of emergencies and diesel and electric locomotives can use the station, during modernisation in 60s part of the branch was electricfied however they couldnt reach hienrich so Diesel No.401 "Darcy" was built with a stay alive capacitor that allow her to work on the line without the risk of losing power, the station have a shunting yard some meters before it at south, the station is located on a relative calm area of the town, it has road acess by a spur that pass under a bridge and stop on the other side, the area had a pretty calm live until 19th of October 1969 when after pulling the last service of the day, Darcy went to the loop to change directions when a man attempt to cross plataform, he got hit by Darcy who break was hard she could, during investigation it was found that the man ignored the station advice to wait the station guard to help cross plataforms but i highlighted the issue so a footbridge was built behind the canopy, the station is still in operation.
