What is a "railroad station"?
A railroad station is a place where trains stop to pick up and drop off passengers or goods. It usually has platforms where people wait for trains, along with services like ticket counters, waiting areas, and sometimes shops or restaurants. Railroad stations can be small, local stops or large, busy centers that handle long-distance or multiple train routes. They are important for managing train services and giving passengers a safe and convenient place to board, get off, or transfer to other trains.
