trainshed
Covered rail station
A trainshed is the roof structure covering the platforms and tracks at a railway station, protecting passengers and trains from weather.
Victorian-era trainsheds were often grand architectural achievements with iron frameworks and glass panels spanning impressive distances: The arched trainshed at St Pancras remains one of London's engineering marvels.
