You did build a town ?

[Sokko]

If you don't build a town, the depot can't take its name from it (like "New Brafingbridge Train Depot"). So it will instead use the first item in the string table which is "Cannot remove obstacles on land". The string "Cannot remove obstacles on land Train Depot" exceeds the character limit for names, so when TTD tries to display the name, it crashes with a GPF.

So make sure you create a town before doing anything.

oh yes, thats it.

I didn't know reaching the character limit crashes the game

I've had 'Cannot remove objects on land train depot' and it doesn't crash.
It's when it has zksdfh train depot (In flashing colours) that it crashes...
