History

Construction

Construction began in January 1981 and utilized an initial steel and concrete reinforced frame with large glass paneling for the roof areas of the station. The interior features a large glass ceiling sloping off into the wall areas on either side of the station. On the exterior the distinctive minarets of Sayaffallan Islamic period architecture can be seen along with the domed towers that are iconic in much of the northern areas of Sayaffallah. Construction also expanded to include a shopping mall built into part of the train plaza allowing customers waiting for trains or just arriving to do shopping before they formally exit the station and enter the city proper itself.

Opening

The Station formally opened on December 2, 1981 and the first trains departed on the same day as daily service began.
