Train stations from around the world selected for their architecture. These buildings represent different periods and architectural styles, from neo-Renaissance to contemporary. Some are adorned with domes, glass canopies, sculptures, and frescoes, while others incorporate modern steel and glass structures. These edifices blend functionality with architectural quality, as demonstrated by Antwerp Central Station with its layered levels or Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai with its Victorian details.
