Train station is standard in American English and of long-standing.
See the following quote from the 19th century:

Directly opposite Boston Bar, on the railroad bank, has built up quite
a little village, which grew from a mere name, "North Bend," and was
several years ago only a train station.

Sept. 1889, p 264
