Railroad Stations should be created as Area Places covering the platforms and station building(s). Naming conventions are as follows:
- Primary name should be the familiar name of the line (Metra, Amtrak, CTA) followed by the name of the station, and the word "Station". Exception: if the same name is used for different physical stations on different train lines, then add a dash and a suffix with the full train line.
- Metra Arlington Heights Station
- Amtrak Chicago Union Station
- CTA California Station-Green Line
- CTA California Station-Pink Line
- Alternate name(s) should be assigned for each Metra or CTA railroad line stopping at the station, using the familiar name as shown on the Metra or CTA website.
- Metra Western Ave Station-Milwaukee District West Line
- Metra Western Ave Station-Milwaukee District North Line
- Metra Arlington Heights Station-Union Pacific Northwest Line
Additional points:
- If the station name includes street types (Avenue, Road, Street, etc.), use standard Waze abbreviations.
- The drive point should be placed at the nearest road or PLR to the station entrance, or if there is no station, to a logical drop-off point. For stations with multiple entrances, use the one most appropriate for the name of the station, e.g. if the station is called Western Avenue and has two entrances, use the one on Western Ave.
- Stations should have a full address if available, and be locked at Level 3 or higher.
