railroad depot
Locomotive passenger hub
A railroad depot is a station where trains stop to load and unload passengers or freight.
The term is chiefly American and somewhat old-fashioned, evoking small-town stations of an earlier era: The old railroad depot had been converted into a museum.
Depot emphasizes the building itself rather than the broader station complex.
