Chorzew Siemkowice railway station
Chorzew Siemkowice is a Polish rail junction located in the Pajęczno County of the Łódź Voivodeship, in the central part of Poland. It is located on the route of the Polish Coal Trunk-Line, and also is the terminal station of the Częstochowa - Chorzew Siemkowice line. It is named for two nearby villages located near the station, Chorzew and Siemkowice.[1]
History
[edit]The station opened in 1933 as part of the Coal Trunk Line. The Częstochowa - Chorzew Siemkowice line was built shortly after in 1939.[2] It was a important station in the region, however trains stopped serving the station in December 2012, and at the time only two trains a day served the station.[3] The station infrastructure was demolished in 2019.[4]
Train services are planned to be resumed to the station in December 2024, where trains will travel on line 146 bound for Częstochowa.[3] The passenger infrastructure will be rebuilt at a total cost of 25 million PLN, with construction targeted to complete by the first quarter of 2025.[4]
