Station agent

:"This article is about the profession of station agent, for the movie see The Station Agent."

In many countries, the station agent is the person in charge of a railway station. Variants of station agents can also work at other transit terminals such as airports, ferry terminals, etc.

In Australia and New Zealand, the term has a different meaning, due to the term "station" being the equivalent of ranch in these countries. A station agent - or more often stock and station agent is a retailer specialising in goods for the farming sector. These goods may range from fence posts to animal health products, and tractors to computer software.
