== Train Station ==
A train station, also known as a railway station or railroad station, is a facility where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers or freight. It generally consists of at least one platform, a station building, and tracks. Train stations are a crucial part of the rail transport system and serve as hubs for public transportation.
History
The concept of train stations dates back to the early 19th century with the advent of the railway system. The first recorded train station was the Mount on the Oystermouth Railway in Swansea, Wales, which opened in 1807. The development of train stations was closely linked to the Industrial Revolution, which saw a significant expansion of the railway network.
Types of Train Stations
Train stations can be classified into several types based on their function and location:
- Terminal station: The end point of a railway line.
- Through station: A station where trains can pass through without terminating.
- Junction station: A station where multiple railway lines converge or diverge.
- Halt station: A small station, usually without staff, where trains stop on request.
