If you remove that constraint you'll need to remember this every
time... and at some point you'll forget. I always do :/
I'd leave it alone if it were me.

Point well taken. Right now, that's the only code that modifies the
Station table, and I'm doing a massive (initial) load and update --
removing the constraint really does speed things up. But heeding your
advice, I'll reinstate the constraint after this initial load
finishes.
(What? Of COURSE I'll remember! :)
:) You could also do my_model_instance.save(false) which would bypass
the validations entirely. As long as you're sure your initial data
load is legit.
