Which facility is located on the east end overpass at Jamaica station?

• A. YARDMASTER
• B. E/B WHEELHOUSE
• C. STATIONMASTER
• D. Platform D shelter

Answer: (C)

The stationmaster facility is placed at the east end overpass to give a clear view and centralized control of station operations, including train movements, platform assignments, and passenger flow. From that vantage point, the stationmaster can quickly coordinate arrivals and departures, communicate with crews, and assist passengers as needed. The other options don’t fit this location and role. A yardmaster handles yard and track movements away from the main passenger areas, so their facility wouldn’t be on the overpass. The eastbound wheelhouse is a control room for signals and track devices, typically located near signal equipment rather than on the overpass. A Platform D shelter is simply a passenger shelter, not a staff facility for station operations.
