The Little Frisco Railway Station is the eastern terminus station of the Trans Sylvanian Railway and the Peace Island Railway. It's one of the most important train stations in Lovia[1]. The building is well-known for its very modern design and its extraordinary roof being a composition of waves. It was built in 2007 and designed by Christopher Verne, a well-known French-Lovian[2] architect. It's located in the northeast corner of Little Frisco, at the corner of Beatles Avenue and Easy Street.

[edit] History of the railway station
The former railway station in Little Frisco, at that time called the Noble City Station, was built in 1948 and restored in 1972. There were two platforms and some limited facilities. After '72 the railway station was renamed Noble City East. In 1976 two platforms were added and the station was technically reorganized. By the end of the 20th century the railway station was decayed and most of the tracks were no longer in use.
In 2000 King Arthur III started a renewal project (the LF Committee[3]) for the Noble City railways. In 2002 they decided to put Christopher Verne, an immigrant architect from France, on the case. He designed the building with the special waved roof and modern glass constructions and the LF Committee accepted his design soon. The demolition and building process began in Spring 2003. By July 2004 the project had fallen behind schedule and overbudget by several million dollars. As a result of over-runs and design issues, some elements of the original design, including an additional proposed footbridge were scrapped. After an extra effort from both the King and the Committee, the works got back on schedule and by 2006 the rough building was finished. Architect Verne, King Arthur III and Prince Dimitri opened the site on April 4, 2007.
[edit] Rail traffic
The Little Frisco Railway Station is the number two railway station in Lovia by passenger numbers, preceded by Transcity and followed by Abby Springs, Newhaven. Currently both the Trans Sylvanian Railway and the Peace Island Railway use this station, though expansion in lines is still possible. There are eight platforms in use, two supplementary platforms, and twenty tracks, of which only six are in permanent use.
