## History

[edit]

Järvenpää railway station was one of the first railway stations in Finland, established on the country's first railway line in 1862. The station building was completed already in 1858, and is thought to be designed by architect Carl Albert Edelfelt.[3] The station was originally planned to be the junction station for a railway line to Porvoo, but in the end, the railway line was built starting from Kerava station. When local train traffic in Finland began in summer 1886, Järvenpää acted as the terminus for two local train services.[3]

In 1999, the station building was moved approximately 25 m (82 ft) further away from the tracks. The ticket sales office was closed in 2022[4] and a R-kioski was opened inside the station on December 20th, 2023.[5]

## Departure tracks

[edit]

Järvenpää railway station has four tracks out of which tracks 1, 3 and 4 have a platform. Track 2 is used by southbound long-distance trains that skip the station meanwhile northbound long-distance trains that skip the station use track 3.

* Track 1 is used by commuter trains D, R and T to Helsinki.
