Östersund Central Station (Swedish: Östersund centralstation) or Östersund C is the main railway station serving Östersund, Sweden. It is located on the Middle Line (Mittbananand) and the Inland Line (Inlandsbanan) and is served by SJ, Norrtåg, Snälltåget and Inlandsbanan- Trains leave for Stockholm a couple of times per day and once a day by Inlandsbanan to Gällivare (a one-day travel) or to Mora. Norrtåg run regional train services from the station many times per day, west to Åre, Duved or Storlien, or east to Ånge and Sundsvall.

The station building was built in 1879, mainly following the drawings of architect Adolf W. Edelsvärd (1824–1919). The building was constructed entirely in wood. English botanist William Dallimore (1871–1959) visited the station in 1929 and noted that the "best birch panelling" was used.[3] [4] [5]
