Pitäjänmäki station (Finnish: Pitäjänmäen rautatieasema, Swedish: Sockenbacka järnvägsstation) is a station on the Helsinki commuter rail network located in western Helsinki, Finland. It is located about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the northwest of the Helsinki Central Station in the district of Pitäjänmäki, and is situated between the stations of Valimo and Mäkkylä.
The Finnish Heritage Agency has classified Pitäjänmäki railway station as a nationally significant built cultural environment.[2]
History
[edit]The National Romantic style station building of Pitäjänmäki railway station designed by architect Bruno Granholm was completed in 1902 and was expanded in 1911.[3]
Pitäjänmäki was outlined to become a junction station already during the construction of the Rantarata line, with a rail connection planned to be built from Helsinki to Loimaa and further to the Tampere–Pori railway line, ending either at Peipohja (current Kokemäki) or Riste.[3] These plans were later abandoned.
A freight station was opened at the Pitäjänmäki station in 1970 and remained operational until 1988.[3] The ticket sales office at Pitäjänmäki was closed in 1987. The railyard received its current form during the construction of the Leppävaara urban line.
