Rokycany

The station does not look so bad after the recent reconstruction.

Historic center and landscaped surroundings

Nice to make the train stop here.

The railway, as a modern mode of transport, arrived in the Rokycany basin in the 1960s. Within a few years, the construction of both lines took place, which to this day form the train transport network in Rokycany. On July 14, 1862, operation began on the Prague-Pilsen line. Rokycany gained connections with the world. The central building of the Rokycany railway station was the railway station no. 310 / II. This building is located in the city center, next to the falconry at the southern end of the street of the Union of Freedom Fighters. It was built in 1861-62 as part of a set of technical structures associated with the operation of the railway line. It is a simple classicist multi-storey building, built in the typical style of the Austrian "erar". On the ground floor there was a hall with a ticket office, 2 offices, a luggage room and a waiting room. There were 2 apartments on the first floor, one of which housed the stationmaster. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the station has been criticized as unsatisfactory. However, the system solution did not come until another 15 years later, when a completely new station building was built. The new station took up an elevated position, which is further underlined by its high-rise character. At the highest point, the station has five floors, which was an unsurpassed altitude record until the 1960s. Stylistically, the station lies on the border of functionalism, art-deco style and older rondo cubism. Railways, as a modern way of transport, arrived to Rokycany in the 1960s. On July 14, 1862, the Prague-Pilsen railway line was launched. Rokycany gained a connection with the world. The central building of the Yearscan railway station was the station No. 310 / II. This property is located in the city center, next to the Sokol House at the southern end of the street "Union of Freedom Fighters". It was built in 1861-62 as part of a set of technical constructions connected with the operation of the railway line. It is a simple Classicist storey building, built in the typical style of the Austrian "erar". On the ground floor there was a hall with a ticket, 2 offices, a luggage storage room and a waiting room. On the first floor there were 2 apartments, one of which was the head of the station. From the beginning of the 20th century, the station was criticized as unsatisfactory. The system solution, however, came a further 15 years later, when a brand new station building was built. The new railway station occupied an elevated position, which still underlines its height character. At the highest point, the station has five floors, which until the 1960s was an unbeatable altitude record. The railway station lies on the border of functionalism, art-deco style and older rondocubism.

At the southwestern end of the city center is the railway station (nádraží) of Rokycany. The station building dates from around 1915, when the old reception building (1862) was replaced by a new, more functional one. Its style is somewhere between functionalism, Art Deco style and older Rondokubismus. Especially since the last renovation, it can be quite impressive.

Quiet station, no mess. I wish there were more such stations. But it is true that I no longer use much of this type of transport. So I'll see what awaits me on the train.
