Union Station
Union Station is a name commonly given to a union station or union terminal: a train station in which tracks and facilities are shared by two or more railway companies.
In North American practice such a shared facility is usually owned by a separate corporation, with proportionate shares owned by the different railways which use the facilities. In that manner, the costs and benefits of the union station's operations are shared among the owning railways. This is distinct from the other common rail facility sharing system, trackage rights, in which one company owns a railway line or facility, but allows another railway to use its trackage "as of right" according to a contractual agreement.
