In Quebec (and probably elsewhere on the continent too) there are a few village names that end with "station", like Laurier-Station and Hébertville-station.
Once, my family was travelling in New England and after passing several "Weigh Station" signs on the interstate, my father asked "why are there so many villages named "Weigh Station" in the USA?".
We still laugh about it many years later.
