An Americanism which has crept in over the years. They always refer to stations as train stations. It was quite nice for Simon and Garfunkel to sing about a "railway station" as opposed to "railroad" as they were in the UK at the time.
Another term which has crept in is the Forth Rail Bridge. The rail bridge was always referred to as plain Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge was-well, the road bridge.
