Madrid Atocha (Spanish: Estación de Madrid Atocha), also named Madrid Puerta de Atocha–Almudena Grandes, is the first major railway station in Madrid. It is the largest station serving commuter trains (Cercanías), regional trains from the south and southeast, intercity trains from Navarre, Cádiz and Huelva (Andalusia) and La Rioja, and the AVE high speed trains from Girona, Tarragona and Barcelona (Catalonia), Huesca and Zaragoza (Aragon), Sevilla, Córdoba, Málaga and Granada (Andalusia), Valencia, Castellón and Alicante (Levante Region). These train services are run by Spain's national rail company, Renfe. As of 2019, this station has daily services to Marseille, France.
On 11 March 2004, packed arriving commuter trains were bombed in a series of coordinated attacks, killing 193 people and wounding 1,800. The official investigation by the Spanish Judiciary determined the attacks were directed by a Islamist terrorist cell.
“Fordite”, public art sculptures, by, Douglas Coupland, at Station Square,
Station Square, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
The piece is, in fact, four separate stacks of blobs in the Station Square area of Metrotown—three shorter ones right outside JJ Bean and a fourth 50-foot one outside a new condo tower by developers Anthem and Beedie at the corner of Kingsway and McKay Avenue.
So what are the blobs, you ask? The blobs that form each kebab are oblong shapes exuding colour in patterns that evoke images of oil.
And that’s fitting, given that each blob is actually meant to represent a car.
The oily colour patterns actually come from an old automotive paint known as fordite, Detroit agate, or Motor City agate.
Coupland said he chose this style to honour a piece of Metrotown history, when, from 1938 to 1988, a Ford assembly plant operated in the area.
I went down to the city yesterday to check out the new Metro Stations. After spending a huge amount of money the 5 stations are now open with the trains running on a 10am - 5pm timetable while they ease the new stops into the timetable. The stations are large, orange decorated and clean. The platforms use automatic doors and floor to ceiling screens to stop customers from jumping onto the tracks as well as reducing the wind draft into the station (more energy efficient!). At the moment the helpful Metro staff are rostered on to help customers navigate the new system and linkages to the old Metro stations Flinders Street and Melbourne Central.
While the platforms have these orange trims, the entrances to the stations are of differing colours and structures.

seen yesterday evening as we approached Brownsville Station Park where we sat on the banks of the Fraser River and watched the sun go down behind New Westminster, magical ...
A mass of converging verticals and caravan parks eventually resolves into a half decent image, I think, if only for the sky!
the original intention was to get the silhouette of St Mary Redcliffe framed through the wrought iron screen of Temple Meads Station. However the angle was to prove elusive and that wretched modern light kept confounding my attempts.
This was the best I could cobble together and I have only just remembered that it was still floating about in my back catalogue. Heck There is loads of stuff I haven't got round to editing yet!
Grand Central Station is quite possibly one of the most beautiful buildings i've ever been in, the polished sandstone looks absolutely stunning and i don't think i've ever seen such a clean train station, it is immaculate.
I had a good wander around here but i'd love to explore the station a bit more, the dining concourse is extremely photogenic but i didn't have enough time to get a few shots down there.
It's a really busy place though so i used a series of long exposures and a bit of photoshop magic to remove all the people from the station.
NCTC 657's train moves from the storage yard to the San Diego passenger station. The lead F40, 2103, is the one we shot earlier in the morning. These things wore the Coaster livery well while they lasted.
Another shot from a recent visit to Station Cove Falls in upstate SC. My buddy, Woody, got this composition first and I liked it and decided to try one too.
It turned out to be a bit more difficult than I expected due to the lighting conditions. I first used three stacked images to attempt to get a better depth of field. I then blended in a 15 sec exposure of the waterfall as it looked better given the somewhat light flow of the waterfall. Then I needed to do quite a bit of dodging and burning to pull out the best of the image.
The hike to the falls is about a mile and is easy without much change in elevation. But if you go, do it after some good rains. Otherwise, you might find a trickle of water.

Located on the opposite side of the Red Planet, Orion Station is a hub for interplanetary meetings among Martians. Three portal structures connect to this command meeting station, floating over a surprisingly lush understory, at least for the Martian wasteland anyway. Colonies of Martians such as the Antares, the Centarui, and the Vega meet at this hub to hold council with the intelligence of Reigel and his aid, Arcturus.
A homage to the 2001 Life on Mars Lego theme, inspired the color Sand Purple. A fun theme that explored the peaceful interaction between human and alien life on Mars' surface. If any LEGO space theme were to make a return, I hope it carries heavy influence from the peaceful line.
Not only does Orion Station feature a communal hub for Martian life, it sits atop a site of ancient necessity visited frequently by the patrons. Here a sect of the Vega clan enjoy the fascinations of their ancient world. Not being known for their intellect, this sect solely ponders why this rock head is so big.
The Martian colony of the Centarui are best known for the bravery through protection of the other groups. A simple and respectable group, they choose to care for others over their themselves in a form of protection while showing no aggression to new comers unless absolutely necessary.
Each solstice a communal celebration is held at Orion Station. Martians share different cultures and ideas from each of their sects, and enjoy the beautiful, even though largely barren, landscape beneath the hub.
Princess Cassiopeia is surprised by Hoodlum Altair! Rascally Altair is up to no good as usual...
(I really don't know anything about the Life on Mars story or lore if there even was any, its been fun making up stuff though. The lime green guy named Altair just has a goofy hair pattern, never was a fun of that head as much as the others. And the other old purple Martian, Cassiopeia, is fantastic in that color.)
Local Mizar colonists point and laugh as an Earthling rover studies rocks! Silly rover, that rock is the same as the other ones.
In the past, train stations were a kind of calling card. In Hochheim, a well-kept small town with wealthy inhabitants, the station is an eyesore.

gebouwd in: 1863
type: SS 3e klasse
Heeft verwantschap met het type tweede klasse. Hoge middenrisaliet die vrijwel gelijk is aan het middendeel van een middenrisaliet van een tweede klasse station. Aan weerszijden hiervan een korte vleugel, overgaand in een iets terugstaande eindvleugel die als regel een blinde muur heeft, soms met deuren. De daken zijn met zink gedekt. De perrongevel is identiek met de voorgevel, doch heeft geen halfronde versiering. De beganegrondse deuren en vensters (ruimte voor de stationsdienst) hebben rondbogen, de verdiepingsvensters segmentbogen.
architect: K.H. van Brederode (1827 - 1897)

This was taken at Hainault Station on the Central Line of the London Underground system. It is not photographed a lot possibly because it is close to the far end of the line. This beautiful Art Deco waiting area deserves more attention, Thanks go to contact Paki Nuttah for the location. If you pay close attention you will see that there is a few minutes difference between the 2 clocks. Looking at earlier pictures it looks to have been the same for at least the last 3 years. Still they would probably need to get a ladder up to change them.
The picture was taken handheld though resting on the seats with a Sony A700 with a sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 10mm. This was a single image with a shutter speed of 1/5 second for the train movement.
This picture was processed first in RAW and then in Topaz DeNoise and Clarity. Further edits were made to Hue Saturation and Colour Balance in Photoshop aiming for the most natural looking colours.

Long Island Railroad's Plandome Station (and Post Office) is all decked out for the Christmas holidays in 1978. In 1987 an 18 year old kid torched the structure. A new masonary replacement with similar looks was opened in 1990.

With a couple of hours spare, my wife and I decided to do something we've not done for ages and took to the road, just for the sake of a drive.
I took this shot from the footbridge of York Station after we called for a cuppa at the old station signal box, now a Costa Coffee.

Unfortunately I've no idea of the Transpennine units or workings.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Bergen Station (Norwegian: Bergen stasjon) is the main railway station in the city of Bergen, Norway. It is a terminal station on the Bergen Line, and serves trains from Oslo as well as the Bergen Commuter Rail from Arna, Voss and Myrdal. It is located on the east side of the city centre and has four platforms. The station was opened in 1913, four years after the Bergen Line itself opened.
The station building is one of the grandest in Norway. The architect, Jens Zetlitz Monrad Kielland, designed it in the National Romantic style. He also designed Gamlehaugen, and the stone buildings at Bryggen. The building has been protected against non-trivial modifications since 2003.
Having been established in 1921, Norsk Spisevognselskap attempted to find a suitable location for a restaurant in Bergen. There was at the time a small restaurant in the station building, but there was not sufficient space for storage of food. Because of high real estate prices in the area, Norsk Spisevognselskap instead established a kiosk at the station on 1 May 1922.
The same year, 1922, the company contemplated to establish a hotel near the railway station. The plan materialised in the construction of Hotel Terminus, which was owned in part by NSB, in part by Spisevognselskapet and in part by other parties.
On 2 April 1937, Spisevognselskapet established a restaurant in the station.

Or a better name I come up with later....or not at all.
So this has been knocking around for a few months, might even be from last year tbh. As you can tell, it's a fire station, you can tell by the Fire engine, and the fact it's got 'Fire station' written across it.
I based it on this fire station that's been converted into a cinema:
s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/43/10/431044_345a8e05.jpg
Not really sure what made me pick this one, but there you go. It's got three main floors and two smaller rooms to the side in the little brick extension.
It's all fully furnished, one of these days I'll get to rendering pics of the interior. I'll also get to rendering a pic of the fire engine, which is based on this:

Getting the look right turned out to consume quite a bit of time, and I'm happy with how it turned out.
And I think I'd better cut myself off there cos I seem to be rambling. I've got about three or so more modulars I've been working on, so keep an eye out for those.
