Description: |
|
Makkasan railway station is a railway station in Makkasan
Subdistrict, Ratchathewi District, Bangkok. It is a class 1
railway station 5.1 km from Bangkok railway station. The station
opened in January 1908 as part of the Eastern Line
Bangkok–Chachoengsao Junction section. It is the location of the
Makkasan Depot, which opened in 1897 when the railway started
operations. Makkasan Depot was destroyed during the Second World
War, and was rebuilt using loans from the World Bank. Despite
not having official status as a junction, a freight-only branch
line to Mae Nam station, Bangkok Port, and the Bang Chak Oil
Refinery branches off from here. A few container and oil trains
use the line daily. Makkasan Depot is not open to the public
unless on some specials days. Part of the place was converted in
a old train exibition with around 15 old locomotives on display.
Although Makkasan station (Airport Rail Link), shares the same
name as Makkasan railway station, it is at a different location. |
