Nanjing West railway station

Originally named Nanjing railway station, it was first opened in 1908.

Located in Nanjing's Xiaguan District, near the southern bank of the Yangtze River, opposite Nanjing North railway station on the northern side of the river (in Pukou), the station was a point where passengers traveling e.g. from Shanghai to Beijing would have to get off the train and board a river ferry, to resume their northward journey from the other station.

By the 21st century, the Nanjing West station saw only a few trains a day.

This station suspended passenger services 25 March 2012, and will be converted to a railway museum.
