Isn't head house an old railroad term for the actual terminal of a station -- one like Union Station DC or Union Station in New Orleans or the London stations where the trains actually come to a dead end and can't go further, as opposed to a station where the trains pass alongside of the terminal building or under it 30th St Philadelphia or Penn Station Baltimore?
