- This page is about the depot used by Stepford Connect. For the siding used by Waterline, see Benton Siding.
Benton TMD, or Benton Depot, as shown in the spawn menu, is a westbound facing depot in Stepford County Railway that is used by Stepford Connect services. The depot is adjacent to Benton and is also close to Port Benton.
Untouched since early versions of SCR, this depot got an overhaul in Version 1.7. Three sidings and a few decorative trains have been added. There are now 2 lanes instead of 4 that can be spawned at.
Benton Signal Box is located near this depot, which controls Zone F.
Stepford Connect trains cannot spawn here to Benton Platform 6 with R039 (Benton <> Leighton City) and R044 (Benton <> Leighton West) due to the track layout. The Coxly Bypass Siding is used instead.

Trivia[]
- Before The Big Update, Benton Depot was the most congested depot as many people were lagging or just simply trolling by committing a SPAD. Since the V1.1 update has arrived, Benton Depot is not as congested anymore and now Stepford Depot has more traffic.
- Although they are both nearby, this depot does not serve Waterline or Stepford Express trains due to the track arrangement.
- Waterline trains may use the Benton Siding instead.
- Strangely, though Stepford Express trains cannot spawn at this depot, some not-in-service Stepford Express Class 801 units are parked on the sidings in this depot.
- However, the TOPS train classification on these Stepford Express trains are listed as Class 802s on their side, which are only in use on AirLink. This is likely to be a bug due to the Class 801 sharing a model with the Class 802.
- A similar phenomenon could be seen at Stepford Depot and Leighton Depot.
- However, the TOPS train classification on these Stepford Express trains are listed as Class 802s on their side, which are only in use on AirLink. This is likely to be a bug due to the Class 801 sharing a model with the Class 802.
- Along with Coxly Depot, this depot attained a bad reputation amongst older players. This is because of the high amount of newer players using these depots to access their starter routes, being R002 (Formerly Stepford Town <> Port Benton) before The Big Update, R001 until Version 1.1, and R005 since.
- Due to track layout, trains spawning at this depot cannot go to Platform 6, where R039 and R044 terminate. Drivers on R039 and R044 use Coxly Bypass Siding instead.
- This depot might have replaced Bodin TrainCare as this depot has a maintenance depot with trains not in use.
- Although signage displays its name as Benton TMD, the spawn menu still displays Benton Depot.
