It's not a station in the conventional sense ?

No.

OK, here you go. It is, as far as is known, the only rail station in the world with a lighthouse attached to it.

Could be this...

The B Side of Sultans of Swing consisted of the tracks Eastbound Train, and Southbound again.

The Eastbound Train "track" has these lyrics describing someone waiting for a train!
It was New Cross Station, I was going on home
Saw you get your ticket, standing on your own
Here come the train about 02:44
I couldn't get a smoker, you took another car

Good answer, but it's not that. I can give a clue which will send you in the right direction if you want as it's not an obvious answer.

There are some different songs called Waiting for a Train from Jimmie Rodgers to the more modern Flash and the Pan.
I like this one :-D
