Kajaani railway station

The Kajaani railway station was built from 1904 to 1905, when the railway from Iisalmi to Kajaani was completed as an extension to the Savonia railroad. The station building was designed by Gustaf Nyström. This Jugend building has been called the most beautiful station building in Finland.

Trackyard

The Kajaani station trackyard underwent a large amount of upgrade and repair work in 2005, when the railway from Iisalmi to Kontiomäki was electrified. Also the manual switchboard on the Kajaani station trackyard was dismantled. Nowadays the traffic is handled remotely from Iisalmi railway station.

The trackyard has two tracks for passenger transport and five tracks for cargo transport. The trackyard has a track connection to the Lamminniemi paper factory and towards Petäisenniska.

gollark: There's also an important meta-level point about how when people *complained* about palaiologos's choice, they did not decide to actually discuss the merits of it with the community and have a productive discussion but just insist they were right and run a nonsensical vote.
gollark: Python is very simple and most people can sort of write it ish.
gollark: But if we allowed *any* language, you'd somewhat lock people out if they did not know *one* of them.
