In railroad usage, "station" is a technical term, which means "a place designated by name in the timetable." A "station" doesn't have to have any kind of structure associated with it -- and it isn't uncommon for a "station" just to have a signboard bearing its name at the designated place. <br /> <br />A "depot" however, is almost always some kind of a structure in the railroad context. The Engli***erm is derived from the French word of the same spelling, and means "a storage space" or "place of assemblage." <br /> <br />The words tend to be used interchangably when referring to structures.
