What is the definition of 'Railway Station'?

My guess is that it would be a place where the public was authorised to enter railway land for the purpose of doing business with the railway. This does not imply any building or other facility and the opposite would be the rest of the railway property that the public had no authority to enter and would therefore be trespassing. <br /> <br />In the UK we have 'Goods stations' for freight and Railway Stations which typically imply a passenger facility. <br /> <br />Glad to see that you have not used the horrible phrase that even the BBC has adopted 'train station' which is an ugly modern construct. Please tell me that its not American usage as it grates so much to the English ear.
