Some railbuffs have a particular fascination with abandoned railway stations, lines and tunnels. In some cases (particularly with underground structures), these were never abandoned per se, but were rather constructed to allow for future expansion, but never actually used (such as due to changing plans for the development of the railway system). The underground aspect is often of particular interest, and extends beyond railbuffs to urban speologists. ...more on Wikipedia about "Abandoned railway stations"

A classification yard or marshalling yard (including hump yards) is a railroad yard found at some freight train stations, used to separate railroad cars on to one of several tracks. First the cars are taken to a track, sometimes called a lead or a drill. From there the cars are sent through a series of switches called a ladder onto the classification tracks. Larger yards tend to put the lead on an artificially built hill called a hump to use the force of gravity to propel the cars through the ladder. ...more on Wikipedia about "Classification yard"

A railway platform is a section of pathway, alongside rail tracks at a train station, metro station or tram stop, at which passengers may board or alight from trains or trams. Almost all stations for rail transport have some form of platforms, with larger stations having multiple platforms. The term platform is most commonly used for designated areas where trains stop (Platform 1, 2, 3, etc.). Technically speaking, the term platform actually refers to physical continuous sections of platform area. So such a physical platform may contain several "designated" platforms. ...more on Wikipedia about "Railway platform"
At its most basic, a railway station consists of a place without any facilities where trains stop. Stations usually have one or more platforms constructed alongside a line of railway. However, railway stations come in many different configurations - influenced by such factors as the geographical nature of the site, or the need to serve more than one route, which may or may not be connected, and the level of the tracks. Examples include: ...more on Wikipedia about "Railway station layouts"

A train station, or railroad station ( American English), or railway station ( British English), is a point of call for trains, allowing the loading or unloading of goods, or allowing passengers to board and alight. Early stations were usually built with both passenger and goods facilities (though there was very often a separate freight terminal nearby, even in quite small communities). This dual purpose is less common today, and in many cases goods facilities are restricted to major stations. Generally stations are sited next to a railway or railroad line, or form the terminus for a particular route. Usually platforms are present to allow passengers to access trains easily and safely. Platforms may be connected by subways, bridges, or level crossings to the main part of the station; passenger facilities such as shelter, ticket sales, waiting rooms and benches are partly there, partly on the platforms. ...more on Wikipedia about "Train station"
