Access Violation when pushing to a list

Why are you using pointers? Why not just use list instead? The list automatically stores a copy of the data that is separate from the one that is passed in.
For example:
list intVec;
intVec.push_back(1);
intVec.push_back(2);
intVec.push_back(3);
intVec.push_back(4);
intVec.push_back(5);
When the elements were pushed on the back of the list, no pointers at all were used, and this list will have values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 after all of the push_backs are finished.
Is the crash happening specifically at the push_back call? What happens if you add another simple, non-intrusive line after it? Also, does it happen if you switch to a different STL container, say vector?
For example:
list intVec;
intVec.push_back(1);
intVec.push_back(2);
intVec.push_back(3);
intVec.push_back(4);
intVec.push_back(5);

One reason NOT to do this is that enforcing a copy on a user defined type can be VERY costly.
I vaguely recall reading something that suggested using push_back on an empty list since was bad since the list doesn't have an end (not every implementation of the STL is 'standard')... but I am probably wrong. Can you push the first item to the front of the list? If this works, can you then push something onto the back of the list?

I see nothing wrong with the code you posted. The problem is probably somewhere else. Perhaps SetStation or the constructor is overflowing an array or something
