Geispolsheim
Geispolsheim (; gsw-FR, Gaispítze) is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. Geography Geispolsheim is positioned to the south of Strasbourg. The construction of a railway between Strasbourg and Mulhouse involved the building in 1841 of a station approximately to the east of the little town: this was followed by the development around the new station of a separate little conurbation, albeit one that always remained a part of the commune of Geispolsheim. The newer settlement was known as 'Geispolsheim-Gare' (Geispolsheim-Station), and retains the name even though the station itself was demolished in 1992, while the original settlement is still unofficially referred to as 'Geispolsheim-Village'. The two parts of the little town are linked by the departmental road RD84. Today included in the Strasbourg Eurométropole, Geispolsheim is well positioned for future expansion: it already offers significant local employment and commercial ...

If a station is on a single-track line, it often has a passing loop to facilitate traffic movements. Places at which passengers only occasionally board or leave a train, sometimes consisting of a short platform and a waiting shed but sometimes indicated by no more than a sign, are variously referred to as "stops", " flag stops", " halts", or "provisional stopping places".
