History

The station was constructed in 1906-1910 and opened on 1 October 1912. In 1952, the station underwent renovation and turned into what it is today.[2]

Architecture

The station is located 127 meters above sea level. Since the station is the dividing point between the flat and uphill sections of the railway, there is a wye to the east of the station used for moving the locomotive to the back of the train, or to switch the locomotive entirely.[1][3]
