How “estación” is used

Both meanings on the card are real, and Spanish keeps them apart by context alone: la estación de tren and la estación más lluviosa share a word English never joins. There is no third sense either — a season of a series, or a sporting season, is una temporada and not una estación.

Going the other way, English station is the half that misleads. Only the transport sense becomes estación. A police station is a comisaría, a fire station a parque de bomberos, a radio station an emisora, and a petrol station a gasolinera — or estación de servicio, the one place where the word survives. Translating every station as estación produces Spanish nobody says.
