Although, I do believe category 'Light Rail Station' should be available, as shown by the following listing. Can you try again to find it?

Edit: Actually, forget what I said above. I just tried it myself and the category is not showing when I try to add a new place. It might be that we can't add a new train station (which kind of makes sense, since it's quite a critical location). Let me get back to you on this.
@Flash Since you're the Maps expert, any chance you know why we can't use train station (and the variations) as a category?
I-485 Station is still showing up as the "Light Rail Station" category: https://www.google.com/maps/place/I-485+Station/@35.164545,-80.9349982,12z/data=!4m8!1m2!2m1!1slynx+....

@zixuan75
Thank you for highlighting this issue.
I only hope that someone has already corrected the spelling of that category to "suburban-train-line" by now since the word "surbaban" does not exist and would have been flagged immediately if there was some kind of spell-checker attached to the Google Maps submission form.

@aka_Rὁn, please remember that for many people in this forum English is not a native language. They may make spelling mistakes, and they may not have their spell checker set to English. If you know what they mean then it's not necessary to point out such issues.
