Carmel Coast or Carmel Beach, sometimes spelled Haifa–Hof HaKarmel; Arabic: محطة قطار حيفا – حوف هكرمل[2] or محطة قطار حيفا – شاطئ الكرمل[3]) is an Israel Railways station serving the city of Haifa, Israel.
In the spring of 2006, work began on a second story to house a modern control and supervision center.
This suspension meant that Haifa, in addition to the rest of northern Israel, was cut off from the train network.
The service was reinstated several days later, after Israel Railways gave in to heavy public pressure led by Haifa's mayor, Yona Yahav.
This made it the northernmost station to operate during the war, providing the only train link to the whole of northern Israel.
For most of its operation, Haifa Hof HaCarmel was the busiest station in Israel outside Tel Aviv.
Carmel Beach railway station is a station on the main North-South Coastal line of Israel Railways and serves intercity trains (Nahariya–Haifa–Tel-Aviv–Ben-Gurion Airport Inter-City Service) operating on it and is a terminus for the suburban line serving Haifa's northern suburbs–The Qrayot, Akko, and Naharyia, as well as being an important interchange station between the two railway lines.
