Kurz bevor man Oakbay Mole erreicht, kommt man durch West Oakbay. Dieser Ortsteil beherbergt sowohl den Lokomotiv-Service von Oakbay, wie auch den Express-Bereich des Bahnhofs. West Oakbay und Oakbay Mole gehen verschachtelt ineinander über. Die Werkstätten (Shops) für die Lokomotiv-Wartung sind auf der rechten Seite und die Versorgungsanlagen mit Diesel, Schweröl, Kohle und Sand (Fuel Service) sind auf der linken Seite des Moduls. Als Schmankerl ist das Entladegleis im Fuel Service Bereich stark erhöht, während die komplette Gleisanlage 2 mm (real 44 cm) gegenüber der Hauptstrecke abgesenkt ist.
