freight depot
Goods storage facility
A freight depot is a facility where goods are received, stored, and dispatched for transport—typically by rail or truck.
Unlike passenger stations, freight depots handle cargo: warehousing shipments, transferring loads between vehicles, and coordinating distribution.
The shipment arrived at the freight depot this morning.
Also called a freight terminal or goods depot.
