Rail Stations
A train station, railway station, railroad station, or station yard refers to a facility wherein passengers may board and alight from trains or rail-transported freight may be loaded or unloaded. In addition, a railway station may be consisted of at least one building for passengers (and possibly freight) plus other installations associated with the functioning of the railway or railroad. A small station with few facilities and/or limited use may be known as a halt in UK usage, or in US usage a stop. As well as providing services for passengers and loading facilities for goods, stations often had locomotive and rolling stock depots (which usually had facilities for storing and refuelling locomotives and rolling stock and carrying out minor repair jobs).
