Rødkærsbro station is a railway station serving the railway town of Rødkærsbro in Jutland, Denmark.[1][2]
Rødkærsbro station is on the Langå–Struer line from Langå to Struer. The station was opened in 1863 with the opening of the Langå–Viborg section of the Langå–Struer line.[7] It offers direct regional train services to Aarhus and Struer. The train services are operated by GoCollective.
History
Rødkærsbro station opened on 20 July 1863 with the opening of the Langå–Viborg section of the Langå–Struer railway line.[7] In 1864, the railway line was continued from Viborg to Skive and in 1865 to Struer.[8] In 1912, Rødkærsbro station also became the northern terminus of the new Kjellerup railway line from Rødkærsbro to Kjellerup, which was prolonged to Silkeborg in 1924.[9]
The Kjellerup Line was closed in 1968,[5] and in 1974 Rødkærsbro station was closed but continues as a railway halt.[10]
Architecture
The current station building was built in 1911 before the opening of the Kjellerup line in 1912.
