Haydarpaşa Terminal, Turkey.

Haydarpaşa Terminal (or Haydarpaşa Garı) is an iconic historic railway station in Istanbul, Turkey, located on the Asian bank of the Bosphorus, in the Kadıköy district. 

Built between 1906 and 1908 in the Neo-Renaissance style by German architects, it was Turkey's busiest railway junction for connections to Anatolia until 2012. 

During World War I and the Turkish War of Independence, it served as a transit point for soldiers and migrants. 

Since 2012, it has been closed to regular train service due to the Marmaray Tunnel and high-speed lines, but it is undergoing restoration and is expected to reopen in 2025 as both a terminal station and a museum. The station, with its imposing facade and views of the Bosphorus, is a symbol of Istanbul and popular with tourists for its architecture and history. 

Nearby is the container port of the same name, one of the largest in Turkey.

Luz Station (Estação da Luz) in São Paulo, Brazil, is an iconic train station in the Bom Retiro neighborhood, built between 1895 and 1901. 

Designed by British architect Charles Henry Driver in the neoclassical style, the station was assembled in Glasgow, disassembled, and rebuilt in São Paulo. 

It was crucial to the coffee trade and the main access point to the city in the early 20th century. 

The station houses the Museum of the Portuguese Language (since 2006) and is connected to metro lines 1-Blue and 4-Yellow. 

After fires in 1946 and 2015, it was restored, but the surrounding neighborhood faces safety concerns.
