Station Master
Stationmaster, Train Station Master, Train Stationmaster
noun
This word uses 長 in the same way as 社長, where it means something like "boss" or "manager." So, this 長 is the boss of the station, right? What do you call someone like that? You call them the stationmaster (that is, unless you want to be thrown to the trains).
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
