I'm not a railway expert, but I would say: no. > Is there a better way? I would say: yes. > Shouldn't the track be > continuous through the station building? This is the better way IMO. The tracks are there, so why shouldn't they be mapped? The building will need some special tagging, I guess with some layer and special building tag, but I don't know those tags by heart. I'm sure the wiki or someone more experienced with buildings will point you in the right direction here. > The reason for asking is that I'd like to show all station buildings > on this line like this.

For the correct tagging of the station, platforms, stops, etc. have a look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport and follow the Railway link.
