station

A train station, railway station, railroad station or depot is a railway facility or area where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers, freight or both. It generally consists of at least one platform, one track and a station building providing such ancillary services as ticket sales, waiting rooms and baggage/freight service. If a station is on a single-track line, it often has a passing loop to facilitate traffic movements.
Places at which passengers only occasionally board or leave a train, sometimes consisting of a short platform and a waiting shed but sometimes indicated by no more than a sign, are variously referred to as "stops", "flag stops", "halts", or "provisional stopping places".
Stations may be at ground level, underground or elevated. Connections may be available to intersecting rail lines or other transport modes such as buses, trams or other rapid transit systems.

    Quietest lifting station for shower and sink

    A drain pipe was installed many years ago with the incorrect slope so it was recommended that I install a Saniflo Sanishower Flat. The specs say 45dB so I found the Sololift2 Grundfos D-2 which comes in at 40dB and also allows hotter water though, 50C, and seems to perhaps require less...
