Majori Station is a railway station serving Majori, the central neighbourhood of the resort town of Jūrmala, Latvia.[1] The station is situated on the bank of the Lielupe River on the narrow isthmus between the river and the Gulf of Riga.
The station is located on the Torņakalns – Tukums II Railway.[3] It opened in 1877.[4]
History
Majori station opened on 21 September 1877 as one of the original intermediate stops on the new railway line from Riga to Tukums via Jūrmala.[4] The station was known as Majorenhof until 1919.
The original station building was made of wood. It was demolished in 1992 and replaced with current brick station building.[5] In 2015, the station underwent renovations that removed the central boarding platform and added two contemporary side platforms.[6]
