The Waiting Room:The Train Station Waiting Room

Another room in the train station is the waiting room. It is right next to the station master's office so that he can sell the tickets. The waiting room was where passengers could spend their time comfortably while they waited for the train to arrive. In addition, travelers would set down their luggage for the station master to load it on the train. In the waiting room there were crokonofr.jpg (12381 bytes)benches for people to sit on, a game table to entertain the passengers and a stove to keep them warm if they were waiting for a train during the winter. There was also a spittoon for the many people who chewed tobacco.
