Does Amsterdam Central Station really exist? Or the presence of Canadian troops made this English sounding name possible?

The cancellation says Amsterdam Centraal Station, which is the Dutch name for the main train station in Amsterdam.

And, yes, Amsterdam Centraal Station, actually exists.
Or, at least it did two years ago, when I was there...

Centraal Station in the Netherlands is a bit like Union Station here in the States. Most larger cities have a "Centraal Station" like Utrecht C.S, Rotterdam C.S. etc. to distinguish between all stations or halts in a town.
