Tips from 1870

Usage: Depot, Station. For many years the word depot was largely employed in the sense of a railway station. Its primary meaning is a warehouse or storehouse or military station. As applied to a stopping place for railroad trains the English word station is greatly to be preferred to the French word depot, and is rapidly coming into general use in this country.

Interior of an underground metro station
(Place-Saint-Henri station in Montreal)

A metro station is a train station for a metro. It is often underground or elevated. At crossings of metro lines they are multi-level.

At street level the logo of the metro company marks the entrance of the station (often a big M, for London Underground a circle with a horizontal bar through the center, see the picture there).

Often there are several entrances for one station, saving one from having to cross the street. In such a case, tunnels or overhead stations can often also be used just to cross the street.

In some cases metro stations can be connected to important buildings by a direct enclosed hallway (see underground city).

Some metro systems, such as that of Montreal, Stockholm, and Moscow, are famous for the beautiful architecture and public art in their metro systems.

Power station

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A power station is a place where electricity is generated on a large scale for distribution. With present technology it is more economic to have a large centralised power generating station, than many smaller ones.

Conventional power stations use steam turbines to turn generatorss to generate electricity. Power stations differ in the type of fuel they use to boil water to create steam. Common fuels include coal, natural gas, or a nuclear reactor. But other fuels such as wood, biomass, or old tires are also sometimes used.

Power stations also have "cooling towers" (fat vertical cylindrical objects which look like chimneys) where the steam used in the turbines is allowed to condense back into water, and be re-used.

Other means of generating electricity include: hydroelectricity, wind power, wave power, solar power geothermal electricity.

Radio station

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A radio station is a site configured for broadcasting sound. Traditionally, radio stations have broadcast through the air via radio waves, a form of electromagnetic radiation, but today many stations broadcast via cable, local wire networks, or the Internet as well or instead of atmospheric broadcasting. Often stations are linked in radio networks.

KDKA of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (owned by Westinghouse) started broadcasting as the first commercial radio station on November 2, 1920. The first broadcast was the results of the U.S. presidential election, 1920.

Radio stations are of a number of types. The best known are the AM and FM stations, both commercial and "public", or nonprofit.

AM stations occurred first. AM refers to amplitude modulation, a mode of broadcasting radio waves, and occurs on commercial US airwaves in the frequency range of 530 to 1600 KiloHertz (thousand cycles per second). FM refers to frequency modulation, and occurs on commercial US airwaves in the frequency range of 88 to 108 MegaHertz (million cycles per second).

FM stations are nowadays much more popular in the developed countries, such as Europe and United States today, especially since higher musical fidelity and stereo broadcasting is possible in this format.

The emerging Digital Radio stations have started their transmissions, first in Europe – the UK and Germany, and later in the United States. The European system is named DAB, for Digital Audio Broadcasting, and public. In the United States, the system is named HD Radio and owned by a private company. It is expected that for the next 10-20 years, all these systems will co-exist, while from 2015 – 2020, the main system, at least in the developed countries, will be the digital radio.

Many other types of radio stations exist. These include:

Train station

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A train station is a place where trains stop to allow passengers to enter and get off. These vary greatly, and may include platforms, tunnels, bridges and/or level crossings to reach the platforms, counters and/or machines where tickets are sold, waiting rooms, shelters and benches, etc.

A train station that is jointly used by several rail transport companies is sometimes called a union station.


Train station Lucerne, Switzerland

Note that the term train station is American English. In British English the term railway station is usually used instead.

Terminus

A terminus is a station at the end of a railway. Platforms can be reached without crossing tracks.

Often a terminus is the final destination of a train, but not necessarily. Convenience of reversing direction is especially important if it is not. For such a train service preferably a train is used for which the driver just has to walk to the other side, i.e., it does not require connecting a locomotive on one side and disconnecting the other one. A multiple unit can be used, or in the case of a long train, one with both a pushing and a pulling locomotive. A train may also have a locomotive on one side and a passenger car with driver's cabin on the other side.

The same applies if the station is not a terminus, but the train service involves reversing direction anyway.

The first applies at:

The second applies at: Reversing direction often causes some worry to travellers who are inexperienced and have no detailed geographic knowledge of the railway lines: they think they will be going back all the way, but instead, there is of course a junction soon, where the train takes another branch than where it came from. Some travellers prefer facing forward; if possible they change place when there is a reversal of direction.

For some more on this, see Commuter train.

Train stations in a tunnel

At train stations the railway is often at ground level or elevated. However, some train stations of regular railways are in a tunnel, like the underground stations of metro systems. These include:

The Netherlands:

Belgium: Poland: Norway: United States of America:

Train stations at a crossing

Some train stations are at a non-level crossing of regular railway lines, providing stops on both lines. These include:

The Netherlands:

Australia:

Other special configurations

John Locke

1690

Every one, as he is bound to preserve himself, and not to quit his station wilfully, so by the like reason, when his own preservation comes not in competition, ought he, as much as he can, to preserve the rest of mankind, and may not, unless it be to do justice on an offender, take away, or impair the life, or what tends to the preservation of the life, the liberty, health, limb, or goods of another. (Second Treatise of Government)

US Declaration of Independence

1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
