As well as being used for centrally located stations, such as Melbourne Central, "Central" also appears in names of stations that were once served by railway companies which used Central as part of their name—for example Leicester Central railway station was owned by the Great Central Railway and Central Station (Chicago) was owned by the Illinois Central Railroad.
