railway stations
Where locomotives stop
Railway stations are places where trains stop to pick up and discharge passengers and cargo.
The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say train station.
Large railway stations serve as transportation hubs connecting multiple lines, while smaller ones may be simple platforms with a shelter.
