Sila At railway station is a railway station in Uttaradit. It is a Class 1 station. It is 487.52 kilometres (302.9 mi) from Bangkok railway station. Passengers in Uttaradit who wish to board the Nakhon Phing Express from Bangkok to Chiang Mai or return must board at this station, as trains to do not call at Uttaradit Station.

History

Due to Uttaradit Station being overcrowded, a new station had to be built. Therefore, in 1958, Sila At Station was built about two kilometres north of the original station, in the applied Thai architecture style. Originally, the station's name was "New Uttaradit", but was later changed and became the Northern Line's major railway container yard.

A Hanomag Steam Locomotive, No. 274, is on display on station premises.
