Zhengzhou railway station (simplified Chinese:郑州站;traditional Chinese:鄭州站;pinyin:Zhèngzhōu zhàn) is a passengerrailway station inErqi District,Zhengzhou,Henan. It is located in the city center, about 1 km southwest to theErqi Memorial Tower. As the junction of the importantBeijing-Guangzhou Railway andLonghai Railway, the station is one of the busiest in China, and is called as "the heart of Chinese railway network".

Opened in 1904, it was a station on theBeijing-Hankou Railway (now part ofBeijing-Guangzhou Railway). At the beginning, the station had only one platform and four tracks. In 1908, the Kaifeng-Luoyang Railway (now part ofLonghai Railway) was put into operation, making the station an important railway junction.

In 1913, the station was renamed as Zheng County railway station (Chinese:郑县站). Ticket offices and platform canopies were put into use in 1928 and the freight yard was constructed in 1932.^[3]

During theSecond Sino-Japanese War, the station was severely damaged due to air strike by theJapanese army in February 1938 and the tracks between Zhengzhou andZhongmu were destroyed in May 1938 by theflood. Services were therefore suspended.^[3]

The station was taken over by thePLA in 1948 and theZhengzhou Railway Administration Bureau was established in March 1949.

In October 1952,Mao Zedong visited the station. He toldTeng Daiyuan, the Minister of Railways then, to highly value the pivotal status of the station, and instructed the station to be built as "the largest and the most complete passenger station in theFar East".^[4] The station has been expanded several times in the following decades. The freight yard was moved east to Erligang in 1953 to establish anew freight station and the marshalling yard was separated from the station in 1962 to form the currentZhengzhou North railway station.^[3] The station has become a dedicated passenger station since then. The mainstation building was completed in 1959, and canopies were added to the platforms in 1970s.^[3]

In 1987, a major renovation of the station started. The elevated waiting halls were completed and put into use in January 1992.^[3] The whole project lasted 12 years and was completed with the opening of the new main station building (current east station building) in 1999.

To relieve the traffic pressure on the east plaza of the station, construction of the west station building and west plaza was started in 2007. The west station building, together with new column-free platform canopies, the 7th and 8th elevated waiting halls and the 7th platform (current Platform 12 and 13) were put into use in 2010.^[5]

On 28 December 2013, with the opening ofZhengzhou MetroLine 1,^[6] the station began to have metro access on the west entrance.

TheZhengzhou-Jiaozuo Intercity Railway commenced operation in 2015,^[7] making the station an integrated railway hub with conventional long distance, high-speed and intercity train services.

The station has two station buildings on both east and west side, covering an area of 144,000 square metres (1,550,000 sq ft) in total together with waiting rooms. The two station buildings are connected by a channel for departing passengers with 10 waiting rooms on both sides of it at 2nd level, and two tunnels for passengers on arrival.

The east station building is also called the main station building. It is 63.3 metres (208 ft) in height with an area of over 40,000 square metres (430,000 sq ft). The ticket office, offering 68 counters, is in the southern part on the 1st level. The main entrance is in the central part on the 1st level, with 4 escalators, 2 elevators and 2 staircases to the elevated waiting rooms on the 2nd level.

The west station building is to the west of the platforms. It covers an area of 11,774 square metres (126,730 sq ft), housing ticket counters, restaurants and stores.

The station has 13 platforms and 20 tracks, of which 13 are for corresponding platforms, 3 arerun-around loops and 4 are for freight trains passing the station. There is no through track for passenger trains in the station.
