Definitions
(rail, US) A train station at which trains stop only on request.
“I did learn more about the flag stop situation along the route. It’s not ideal, but if the driver is comfortable pulling over on wider sections of the shoulder it is probably possible to hike Lyle Cherry Orchard and also Coyote Wall.”
