I can see nothing wrong with the rendering: The red dot for the station 
location is partly hiden by the bridge, which is totally right. The big 
station name gives enough hint that there's something.

One could add the possibility to make the upper map feature 
half-transparent if there's a POI below. But Mapnik doesn't allow this 
partial transparency AFAIK.
