Korso railway station (Finnish: Korson rautatieasema; Swedish: Korso järnvägsstation) is a Helsinki commuter rail station located in the district of Korso in the city of Vantaa, Finland. It is located approximately 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Helsinki Central railway station. The station is located in the C zone of the HSL area.
The Finnish Heritage Agency has classified the old station building and its surroundings as a nationally significant built cultural environment.[2] [3]
History
[edit ]Korso railway station was originally opened in 1889 as a meeting point for trains, back when the Finnish main line still had only one track.[2] Passenger traffic began the next year. The station received its name from a nearby border post of rural municipalities known as Korsrå.[2]
The original station building was destroyed in a fire in 1918 and replaced by a new one, designed by architect Thure Hellström, the same year. The station building was built with the same designs as Kauhajoki and Teuva stations on the Seinäjoki–Kaskinen railway, but has been modified a number of times since then.[2] The station building is no longer in its original use. The ticket sales office was moved into a retail building located on the other side of the railway line in 1996 and was eventually closed in 2003.[2]
Connections
