Merge

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Station building and head house are not quite synonymous -- station building describes the function, while head house describes the form. In the context of terminal railroad stations, they are largely synonymous, but head house has some other meanings. It is also rarely if ever used to describe a station building with through-tracks rather than stub tracks. It thus seems to me that the proposed merger is a mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.14.205.100 (talk) 04:00, 3 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

I closed the merge proposal, given that there was no support. Klbrain (talk) 22:10, 30 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

"Open-sided"

What does "open-sided" even mean in the opening sentence? It doesn't seem relevant whether the attached shed is "open" or "closed" as it relates to a head house. A head house is simply the part of a station attached to the shed and which includes a mix of uses. Criticalthinker (talk) 04:05, 19 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
