Abstract
We study the thermodynamic equilibrium of matter in a wormhole `station' which connects various distinct asymptotic regions of a spacetime. An example of the `station' is a traversable wormhole connecting two distant regions. The temperatures of matter in the `station' measured at various asymptotic regions are not necessarily the same. We propose a generalized `temperature' which characterizes the thermal equilibrium in the spacetime with the `station'. We additionally discuss how thermal `equilibrium' works for a multiply connected spacetime.
