- This page is about the former ROC located in Stepford East. For the currently operational ROC located in Stepford Central, see Stepford Rail Operations Centre.
Stepford East Rail Operations Centre (or Signalling Control Centre, abbreviated as Stepford East ROC) was previously the controlling building for Signaller staff members, and had some features for public use. The building is attached to the station, right next to the High Street entrance of Stepford East station. As of V1.6, the ROC has now been demolished, and replaced by a building in its place and operations transferred to the Stepford Rail Operations Centre.
Former Building Layout
| Floor | Uses |
|---|---|
| Ground Floor | Entrance; connected to Stepford East High Street entrance. |
| First Floor | Viewing Deck; everybody regardless of their rank were allowed to enter as a Passenger and view trains exiting Stepford Depot and arriving/departing Stepford East. This place was used for Qualified Driver trainings, it is now back where it formerly was at Stepford Central. |
| Second Floor | Signalling Operations centre between V1.1 and V1.4.1, empty between V1.4.4 and V1.5.1. |

Trivia
- The entrance barrier was not implemented, and therefore everyone was free to enter except the signalling room. This made the first floor a useful multi-purpose space, mostly for trainspotting.
- The design is based on the former Benton Rail Operations Centre, the ROC in use before Stepford East ROC took over.
- The Signalling Room was accessible by anyone in the Signaller role if players were playing on Private Servers.
- The first floor was completely empty and players had a great view over Stepford East, therefore this was one of the best trainspotting places in the network. Players could observe trains in and out of Stepford East and trains leaving Stepford Depot.
- QD trainings used to be held here. They are currently held at Stepford Central.
- The ROC, along with all of the signalling equipment, was relocated to the newly renovated Stepford Central on 18 March 2020 (V1.4.4).
- Although the 2nd floor was empty and had no use, the access was still restricted to Signaller+.
- After the relocation, the building of the Stepford East ROC remained until V1.6 when it was demolished and replaced with a scenery building with no interior.
- V1.8 saw Stepford East and Stepford Depot overhauled, where the latter now features offices for Managers and Supervisors, accessible via a restricted path. Some consider this to be a rebirth of the ROC.
