station
駅 centers on a station: a fixed stop along a route where transportation arrives and departs.
駅 is the modern simplified form of 驛. The older form combines 馬 (horse) with 睪, which likely contributed the sound and related to relay stations where horses were changed. The modern right side 尺 is a simplification.
The left side is a horse 馬, and the right side 尺 looks like a measuring ruler. Picture a horse-drawn carriage stopping at a station where distances are measured.
For エキ, imagine an energetic horse arriving at the station: energetic -> エキ, and the horse 馬 is ready to go.
