If the stations are concrete block with porcelain panel veneer there will be tabs that are welded to the panels. The panels will be nailed through the tabs into the blocks, or in some cases there will be wood furring strips attached to the blocks. In that case the panels will be nailed or screwed through the tabs into the furring strips.
There will be two tabs on each side of the panels. The tabs on the bottom and one side won't be fastened to the building. They'll be tucked under the adjacent panels. The tabs on the top and one side will be fastened to the building.

If the stations are steel frame the panels will likely be fastened to the steel structure with clips.

The back wall and interior partitions on some stations are full height vertical panels that interlock with each other.
