Sihanoukville railway station is a railway station in Sihanoukville, Preah Sihanouk province, Cambodia. It is the railway terminus of the Phnom Penh–Sihanoukville railway. The station is located near the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port.

History

The Phnom Penh–Sihanoukville railway was opened on December 1969.[1]

Under the Khmer Rouge regime, the line was damaged and destroyed. After the Khmer Rouge were ousted in 1979, restoration of the line began in the 1980s.

After the restoration, only freight trains ran on the line. Since April 2014, passenger service was resumed on the line.[2]
