Dimona railway station (Hebrew:תחנת הרכבת דימונה,Takhanat HaRakevet Dimona) is atrain station inDimona,Israel, opened in 2005.
It is on a 35-kilometre-long (22 mi) line between Dimona andBeersheba, a separate operating line withinIsrael Railways. The track carries on beyond the actual town itself to mines and freight yards.
Partly due to the station's distance from central Dimona, ridership is very low. With only 14,745 passengers recorded in 2019, the station was the least used in all of Israel. However, proposals to close it on account of poor usage have been rejected in order to preserve passenger rail service to the historically depriveddevelopment town.[2]
