train platform
Where passengers wait
A train platform is the raised surface alongside railroad tracks where passengers wait to board and exit trains.
The elevation brings the platform roughly level with train car floors for easier access.
In stations with multiple tracks, platforms may be numbered or lettered: The train to Boston departs from platform 3.
