Train station Train stations colocated with other transport systems such as trams and buses may also be referred to as interchanges, as may stations offering both metro/subway and heavy rail services. A train station that is jointly used by several rail transport companies is sometimes called a union station, or an interchange station. Many train stations - unsurprisingly - date from the 19th century and reflect the architecture of the time, grand in scale and size, lending prestige to the city as well as to railway operations. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/t/tr/train_station.html   (932 words)

Federal Transit Administration - Frequently Asked Questions: Rail Station Platform Requirements Section The primary intent of the “key station” requirement was to ensure that existing rail systems would become accessible in a timely manner, through at least some number of stations located at major points throughout the system. There are additional requirements that apply specifically to certain elements of rail stations, such as platforms, fare vending areas, and station entrances, which are found in ADAAG 10.3. This can be true with existing stations, where the physical layout and infrastructure may limit the ability of the transit operator to make sufficient platform modifications, as well as proposed new stations and entire systems that are still in the planning stages, where the constraints of available sites and right-of-way may play a role. www.fta.dot.gov /15874_ENG_HTML.htm   (1361 words)

Rail Rail Operations: A siding exists on the west side of the mainline and could be used to separate trains at the station. Rail Operations: There is a mainline track at the site with a siding to the west, which means that the station, platform, and park-and-ride facilities should be developed to the east. Most of the station sites used for the analysis are simply surrogate locations to help simulate a commuter rail service that could be coded into the ridership estimation model to develop travel time and transportation demand estimates. www.wsdot.wa.gov /Rail/plans/eb4.cfm   (847 words)

PB Network Issue 49 Light Rail Transit Station Design and the Urban Landscape Designing rail transit stations in a city as steeped in the culture of the automobile as Los Angeles was a formidable task for PB. The architecture of light rail stations can create environments that become important urban places and elements of civic pride. When a station is identified with adjacent development through the use of similar colors and architectural details, nearby property owners are more receptive to the trolley station location. www.pbworld.com /news_events/publications/network/tools/print_article.asp?referrer=/news_events/publications/network/issue_49/49_18_LimK_LightRailTransit.asp   (1576 words)

The Seattle Times: Opinion: Roosevelt light-rail station should be at 12th Avenue It is clear that a rail station at the center of the Roosevelt community at 12th Avenue Northeast provides much greater opportunities for vibrant and successful development than a station next to the freeway at Eighth Avenue.
