Hi,

More seriously, in Boston we sometimes use the word "subway" to refer to
several MBTA lines, and non-train-nerds don't really distinguish between
the Green Line (which is probably "light rail") and the others.  Of
course, real trains sometimes run underground (e.g. near New York Penn
Station).

Yes, also trams can run underground for much more than just a small stretch of tunnel (e.g. Bonn), and of course the London Underground frequently runs in broad daylight. In Frankfurt, a lot of suburban train traffic ("S-Bahn") is underground and a lot of underground ("U-Bahn") is overground.

How is someone to determine whether something is a railway=station or a railway=subway_station?
