Railroads Replace Depot with Station

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is making an effort to abolish the improper use of the word "depot." The word "station" is to be used on its lines henceforth; and even the great "Union Depot" at Pittsburg is hereafter to be known as the "Union Station." Richard Grant White is thus indorsed. The word "depot" means a place of storage of goods. "Station" is the correct word. Railroads may have their "depots" for freight, but not for passengers.
