Is the prayer shortened at a railway station or a ship station?

Question

Will there be qasr of the prayer at a ship station, a railway station and the like, or not, given that the intention from home was for more than 50 miles?

Answer

If the settlement at the station is continuous, then he is not yet a traveller, and the full prayer is necessary. The journey will begin after departing from there; then qasr will have to be done.
