Malmi station (Finnish:Malmin rautatieasema,Swedish:Malms järnvägsstation) is arailway station in theMalmi district ofHelsinki,Finland. It is located between the stations ofPukinmäki andTapanila, along the mainrailroad track from Helsinki toRiihimäki, about 11 kilometres (7 mi) north fromHelsinki Central.
TheFinnish Heritage Agency has classified Malmi railway station as a nationally significant built cultural environment.[2][3]
Malmi railway station was opened as a stop in 1871, originally to serve a nearby army training ground. The first station building was completed in 1873 but was replaced by another one already in 1878.[2] A large community formed quickly around the station which already had industry, workshops, an electric utilities and two schools in the 1910's.[2]
When local train traffic began in Finland in summer 1886, Malmi acted as the terminus for two local train services on the Finnish main railway line (the other two continuing further up toJärvenpää).[2] A newfunctionalist style station building designed byThure Hellström was completed in 1934. The new building was exceptional from the station buildings of that time, since it was built above the train tracks.[3] This station building was closed in 1986, as the current bridge station was completed. When the fourth track between Helsinki and Tikkurila was introduced in 1996, the trains making a stop at the station started using the eastern platform (tracks 3–4) while the western platform (tracks 1–2) was closed, only to be used in exceptions. The ticket sales office was closed in 2004.[2]
In 1894, a branch line was built from Malmi railway station to theMalmi Cemetery(fi:Malmin hautausmaan rautatie).[2] The line was opened at the same time as the cemetery and the track diverged from the main line at the northern side of the station and then curved southwards to the cemetery. The branch line served funeral trains until December 1954 and has since been torn down.[2]
Malmi railway station has four tracks all of which have a platform. Platform tracks 1–2 are unused by the passenger trains that stop at the station and are no longer accessible.[4]
