What does the platform of the railway station mean?

China's railway system has inherited a large number of Japanese names and terms. For example, there is a sign next to the railway at the entrance of the locomotive depot, which says "Stop once", that is, before the locomotive enters the locomotive depot again, it seems to be a lengthy action, but it is much more reliable than slowing down and paying attention to safety. The rule is to let you stop at the door, even if you just stop and start again, so as to ensure the slow speed of entering the locomotive depot and ensure safety. This kind of one-time parking is a bit unreasonable in Chinese, but these four words are completely Japanese. The rules and symbols that existed during the Japanese devils period have continued to this day.

The emergency braking of a train is called "extraordinary braking" in railway terminology, and the action of operating the emergency braking is called "extraordinary braking" in the terminology of train drivers. This unusual braking is also Japanese, and it continues to this day.

Platform, the word is naturally a relic of Japanese. Now we mostly change it into a platform, but in Taiwan Province Province, it is still called a platform. After all, Taiwan Province Province has been colonized by Japan for decades. Besides railway terms and titles, the mainland still retains some traces of Japanese, while the names of civil facilities such as platforms have gradually disappeared.
