	Italian Railroad Stations: An Overview
		Encompassing a wide range of facilities, Italian stations were filled with hope and symbols of technological progress While the vast iron sheds of these great stations epitomised the ostensibly industrial nature of the railroad, the facades of most Italian stations relied on traditional architectural elements and techniques.
		The initial station of 1864 was seen as insufficiently grand for the Milanese appetite and the city felt that a bold new station was needed to properly reflect the enterprising city.
		With the exception of Leopolda Station in Florence where there was a hint of height in the main arches of the facade and in the two side buildings, the dominating similarity in these stations was their horizontal nature.

	The Underground Railroad
		The system even used terms used in railroading: the homes and businesses where fugitives would rest and eat were called "stations" and "depots" and were run by "stationmasters," those who contributed money or goods were "stockholders," and the "conductor" was responsible for moving fugitives from one station to the next.
		The Underground Railroad, a vast network of people who helped fugitive slaves escape to the North and to Canada, was not run by any single organization or person.
		The Underground Railroad had many notable participants, including John Fairfield in Ohio, the son of a slaveholding family, who made many daring rescues, Levi Coffin, a Quaker who assisted more than 3,000 slaves, and Harriet Tubman, who made 19 trips into the South and escorted over 300 slaves to freedom.

	Abandoned Stations : Bronx Railroad Stations
		In 1871, the first Grand Central station was opened at 42d Street, and from 1872 the line to the south became exclusively a street railway (but it was still owned by the railroad to the end in 1935).
		The station is located on the N side of 125th St under the tracks and therefore in the middle of Park Avenue.
		Because the old Grand Central had the engine yard and arrivals station on the E side, trains were run through the Bronx left-handed from 1888 to 1907, which is why the main station is on the W side, then the northbound side.
