Default Re: When did PCB tracks become 'traces'?

The definition of a train in the context of a transport device comprising an engine pulling a train of carriages or trucks, dates from the 1830's.

And a place where such a device is stationary so that passengers can alight and embark is surely a train station(ary).

Railway station actually makes no sense because the rails of the railway are fixed and for ever stationary
