In 1896, a new, wooden station was constructed east of the split at the Pontanusstraat; it only contained platforms along the line to Hilversum.
In the late 1930s, the tracks on the east side of Amsterdam were raised under the name Spoorwegwerken Oost (Eastern Railway Works).
[3] To make room for the works, the old Muiderpoort Station was closed and demolished in 1937.
Known as a Keilbahnhof (Vorkstation in Dutch) this is a fairly unorthodox setup, and Muiderpoort is its only representative in the Netherlands.
Two pedestrian tunnels ran from the central hall, where the ticket offices were located, to the platforms.
In the late 1990s, the station underwent extensive renovation, after which the hall and tunnels were leased to businesses.
The former Signal House, the highest part of the station complex was designated a national monument in 2003 and occasionally hosts events.
[6] A stained-glass window by Heinrich Campendonk was installed in the north wall of the building when it was built in 1939.
