    Seems like there is a web page for everything these days. Try this . . . .
    http://www.stationwagon.com/history.html

    Also, the American Heritage Dictionary says it comes from the vehciles used
    to move passengers from a train station to their hotel.

    Before looking this up I would have been prepared to say it had something
    to do with sheep and cattle stations, which makes more sense for a Land-Rover.
