Train station naming schemes (lemmy.ml)

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.

For production facilities i use the facility icon (miner, oil rig, etc.) then an arrow to the right and the icon of the resource being extracted:

[Miner] -> [Iron Ore]

For consumers i do the consumer icon (f.e. smelter) arrow to the smelter and resource icon after that:

[Smelter] <- [Iron Ore]
