train stop
Where passengers embark
A train stop is a location where trains halt to let passengers board or disembark—synonymous with train station, though often implying a smaller or less formal facility.
The term also refers to a safety device on rail tracks that automatically engages a train's brakes if it passes a signal at danger: The train stop prevented a collision when the engineer failed to brake.
