Wikipedia says that Egypt Station has 16 tracks, which McCartney refers to as "stations." The album title and cover art come from a painting McCartney did in 1988.

I got to a few Metro stations in Cairo. They were nothing fancy, but serviceable. I didn't know about Cairo Station. Wikipedia has some magnificent photos of the station. The trains in Egypt were pretty Spartan. There are tracks along the Nile at least to Luxor and Aswan - there's not much of anything south of Aswan. My brother-in-law had a 1-year Fulbright appointment to teach at the University of Alexandria. He sometimes took the train on the three-hour trip from Alexandria to Cairo, but hired a car and driver when he had to be sure to be in Cairo on time.
