Which term refers to a place where trains are scheduled to receive and/or discharge passengers?

• A. Station
• B. Interlocking Station
• C. Passenger Station
• D. Block Station

Answer: (C)

When trains are scheduled to receive and discharge passengers, the facility is a passenger station. This term specifically denotes a location designed for passenger boarding and alighting, with the associated platforms and passenger services. A generic station could refer to facilities that don’t handle passengers (like freight or maintenance). An interlocking station describes a signaling arrangement for protecting routes, not passenger handling. A block station isn’t a standard term for a passenger-serving location. So the term that fits the description is passenger station.
