Kilo railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kilo railway station (Finnish Kilon asema; Swedish Kilo station) is a station on the VR commuter rail network located in Kilo, a district of the city of Espoo in Finland. It is situated between stations Leppävaara railway station and Kera railway station. It is located about thirteen kilometres to the northwest/west of Helsinki Central railway station.
[edit] History
Before the current Kilo station building was built, only a small wood-heated cabin stood at the site. The larger wooden building, having previously served as the station building, was torn down in the early 1980s, but the white house of the track guardian is still standing between the Kilo and Kera stations.
In the 1980s, there was a small factory to the south of the tracks, right next to the station, but it was torn down, and many low apartment buildings have been built in its place. The level crossing to the west of the station was removed in the middle 1990s and replaced by a tunnel built to the east of the station.
