It doesn't make sense to merge into another category which is also too small to justify existence.--

Nominator's rationale: Very recently created category that does not meet
WP:CATDEFINING. While stations can generally be said to be above or below ground, they are not commonly and consistently referred to as such. AFAICT, these were all recently created by a single editor without discussion.
