rail terminal
Where trains stop
A rail terminal is a station where a railroad line ends, or a major station where multiple lines converge.
Passengers and freight complete their rail journeys here before transferring to other transportation.
The term emphasizes the endpoint function: The rail terminal downtown connects to bus and subway lines.
