Zhenjiang West railway station
Former railway station in Jiangsu, China
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zhenjiang West railway station (Chinese: 镇江西站) was a railway station located in Runzhou District, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu on the Beijing–Shanghai railway that handled passenger and freight traffic. In 1978, the new Zhenjiang Railway Station was opened due to the Beijing-Shanghai Railway moving south. In 2003, because the station affected traffic, it was demolished. In 2010, Zhongshan Square was built where the railway station once stood, to commemorate Sun-Yat sen who got off twice at Zhenjiang West station to inspect Zhenjiang.
