How to locate the disabled train stop among many stops with the same name

factorio

I need to locate a specific train stop in my factory but there are a number of problems making this difficult

  1. My factory has like 500-1000 train stops in total so locating it manually would be like looking for a needle in a hay stack.
  2. This specific train train stop is disabled so I can't send a train to it (and locate it that way).
  3. There are 14 other train stops with the same name. Usually you can put a train stop in a train's schedule and click on the text to locate it, but this only ever locates one (and the same) train stop sharing my sought-after train stop's name.

What can I do to find my train stop?

Best Answer

Here's a not-so-elegant solution:

Rename all train stops with the same name to a new (but still shared) name. You can do this by adding the stop to a train's schedule, clicking the text to locate one of the stops on the map, and then rename it. Do this one by one. Sooner or later the sought-after stop will be the one that Factorio locates on the map for you.

It is crucial that you finish renaming all train stops even after you locate the one you want to find to not mess up your train scheduling.
