Siilinjärvi railway station

Siilinjärvi railway station (Finnish: Siilinjärven rautatieasema) is located in the municipality of Siilinjärvi in Northern Savonia region of Finland.

Opened in 1902, the station is located on the Savonia railway and is also the western terminus of the Siilinjärvi–Viinijärvi-line, the latter of which only serves freight traffic.

[1] Eventually the rail connection was built from Pieksämäki via Varkaus to Joensuu in the 1930's but despite this another railway line from Siilinjärvi to Sysmäjärvi and Outokumpu was planned as well.

This rail connection was intended to be built in the 1940's, but the construction was postponed due to the war.

[1] Siilinjärvi is served by all of the long-distance train services that travel via the Savonia railway from Helsinki to Kajaani and Oulu.
