In ArcMap there are apparently tools for stationing lines. See here: Adding linear events by station measures—Help | ArcGIS Desktop
Is there a similar process for ArcGIS Pro? I have figured out a bit of a workaround that gets me close by using $measure with the symbol property connection enabled for the route. But it doesn't give true "stationing" in the format of 4+03.12 for instance. It displays 403.12 instead. Is there a way to get true stationing in ArcGIS Pro?
Cheers,

Solved! Go to Solution.
AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for posting this! I cant just quickly upgrade my license with my company to get special tools, so having this script was so incredibly helpful, thank you so much!
You're welcome. I posted a video of my process on youtube if you need it. https://youtu.be/sDx7J_wNw0Y
Hi Justin, I landed here looking for a similar solution but I think the expression doesn't even need to be this complicated. I believe the following will produce the same results:
Floor($measure/100) + '+' + Text($measure%100, '00.00')
Obviously if you're using a stationing interval other than 100 units (I modified this from the expression I came up with for 1000 units), and/or require a different decimal precision, the interval and Text formatting string can be modified to suit.
Linear referencing geoprocessing tools:
Create Route Events and Make Route Event Layer
If you noticed that the starting and ending station labels are missing, the starting station label can be added by checking the "place at extremeties" option. For whatever reason, that option does not add a station label at the end. I haven't found a way to add the ending station label.
Has anyone figured out how to add the ending station label?
I am not sure about being able to add ending or start stations to the marker symbology. You could add another marker layer that you place at extremities to get both I suspect. Another method would be to create points along a line, much like I recommend for getting stationing that you can export to KML / KMZ. Check out this video and just stop short of exporting to KML.
