Side Platform
A side platform (also known as a marginal platform or a single-face platform) is a platform positioned to the side of one or more railway tracks or guideways at a railway station, tram stop, or transitway. A station having dual side platforms, one for each direction of travel, is the basic design used for double-track railway lines (as opposed to, for instance, the island platform where a single platform lies between the tracks). Side platforms may result in a wider overall footprint for the station compared with an island platform where a single width of platform can be shared by riders using either track. In some stations, the two side platforms are connected by a footbridge running above and over the tracks. While a pair of side platforms is often provided on a dual-track line, a single side platform is usually sufficient for a single-track line. Layout Where the station is close to a level crossing (grade crossing) the platforms may either be on the same side of the cross ...

Times Square (Detroit People Mover)
Times Square station is a Detroit People Mover station in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. It is located on Grand River Avenue between Cass Avenue and Washington Boulevard. The station takes its name from nearby Times Square, which in turn, took the name from the defunct ''Detroit Times'' newspaper formerly headquartered there. The People Mover's garage and maintenance facilities are attached to Times Square, and the Rosa Parks Transit Center, the main hub for DDOT buses, is located right outside the station's entrance. Times Square is the only People Mover station with two tracks, one on the main loop and another leading into the garage, which flank the station's island platform. The People Mover shut down temporarily on March 30, 2020, due to decreased ridership amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The system has since resumed service, but as of June 2022, Times Square remains closed, with trains bypassing the station and continuing to Michigan Avenue. See also * List of rapid transi ...

In 2018, the site was redeveloped for youth sports. History ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Railway Stations In The United States Opened In 1987
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilit ...
