This Tutorial assumes you already know how to make a func_mover following a Nurbs Path, It also assumes you know the basics of GUI scripting. As well as
basic scripting knowledge:

Step 1: Start with everyone's good ole favorite Cube Map. Make it a little bigger for this exercise, I'm using 1024x1024 to give our Train some elbow room.
Step 2: Now we're going to start by creating the first NURBS Path for the Train. This will be the first stop.
-Right-Click to Create a func_static (use the "NoDraw" texture)
-then switch to the ENTITY TAB and click "CURVE", select NURBS..
-Set your path up to do a Half-loop of your cube.
-Name the func_static "spline1"
Step 3: Now make a second NURBS path for the train which goes from the end of the first path and loops back to the starting station. This will be the second stop
-Name this func_static "spline2"
Step 4: Now we're going to make the train itself.
-Create a "func_mover" with the "NoDraw" texture. Name it "train_1"
-Line it's Origin up perfectly with the Origin of our func_static "spline1"
-Now add the following to the func_mover:
key "model"
value "models/mapobjects/loadtrans/loadtranscomp.lwo"
**IMPORTANT NOTE** IF YOU WANT THE TRAIN TO BE RIDEABLE, YOU MUST USE THE MODEL TAB IN THE FUNC_MOVER. If you bind a "func_static"
train model to the Func_mover instead of having the model a part of the func_mpver itself the player will slide off the train when it moves like a carpet being pulled from under his feet.
key "solid"
value "1"
key "gui"
value "guis/A_BEER/beer_trainstart.gui" //This is a stock GUI that I tweaked to run the train
key "gui_parm1"
value "train_start1" //uses the GUI to call the trains first movement script
key "gui_parm2"
value "train_start2" //uses the GUI to call the trains 2nd movement script
Step 5: Open up Notepad/Wordpad and make a file called *urmapname*.script
-add the following
void train_start1()
{
$train_1.time(45);
$train_1.accelTime(10);
$train_1.decelTime(5);
$train_1.startSpline($spline1);
}
void train_start2()
{
$train_1.time(45);
$train_1.accelTime(10);
$train_1.decelTime(5);
$train_1.startSpline($spline2);
}
void main()
{
}
//These are the functions that will be activated by GUI parm 1/2 to activate the train
Step 7: Compile and Enjoy your Multi-Stop train! (make sure you place the GUI you made and the *urmapname*.script in the appropriate folders)
