Etymology

Borrowed from English Vauxhall, in reference to Vauxhall Gardens in London. The ending was influenced by зал (zal, hall). The spelling фоксал (foksal) attested in 1777 is from French facs-hall, from the same English source. The transportation sense derives from an epithet for the Pavlovsk railway station building, which at one time served as both a passenger lounge and a place of entertainment.
