Gangshan (Chinese: 岡山車站; pinyin: Gāngshān Chēzhàn) is a railway station on the Taiwan Railways Administration West Coast line located in Gangshan District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.^[2]

History[edit]

The station was opened on 15 December 1900 as Agongdian Station (阿公店停車場), and was renamed as Okayama Station (岡山駅) in 1920. In November 1923, a second, wooden station building was opened to replace the original 1900 station. The current station building was opened on 29 October 1993, and the 1923 wooden station building burned down on 3 November 1995. Contactless smartcard fare gates were installed at this station on 30 September 2013.

Future MRT Connection[edit]

The Kaohsiung Metro Red line is expected to be extended northwards to Gangshan Station by June 2024.^[3] The new metro station will have a direct link to the train station and will be coded as RK1.
