Multiple stations

Greetings,
I did not see this idea here, but I did not go through every page of threads, so I hope I am not being redundant.
There are different ways this idea could be used, but I will just tell you how I did it. I Built into one of my competitor's railroads with my own station. Then when I bought him out I did not liquidate but merged and then I had two stations in that city. Each can serve a dedicated type of cargo.
Theoretically, if all competitors have built into a single city before you buy them out, you could have 4 stations in one city. That is 12 to 16 independent lines coming into one city. What I don´t know is if you can build a competing station at all difficulty levels, and how upgrading a city´s stations will work (will it upgrade all, or only the original).
The downside is merging with a messy track system, but you can always manually liquidate, and I have not tested it but it seems to give you more money than hitting the liquidate button. You get money on scrap for the rails, stations and trains you delete.
