The Sneek train station is a train station in the city of Sneek in the province of Friesland ( Netherlands ).
history
The building was erected on the occasion of the commissioning of the first part of the Leeuwarden-Stavoren line and inaugurated on June 16, 1883. From 1883 Sneek was still a terminus . Two years later the section to Stavoren was opened. In 1921 a tram line was opened in the direction of Bolsward to transport goods. This line was discontinued in 1968. In 2007 plans arose to run steam locomotives on the Sneek-Stavoren route, which was to be implemented in 2012 with the opening of the Stoom Stad Sneek theme park , but was ultimately not implemented.
building
The station building was built in 1882 based on a standard design that was used in four other locations:
- Gorinchem railway station , built in 1881, demolished in 1971.
- Tiel station , built in 1881, still preserved.
- Appingedam train station , built in 1883, demolished in 1981.
- Delfzijl railway station , built in 1883, still preserved, clinkered differently.
Until July 2004 the building was used as a station building. Subsequently, after renovation and reconstruction, the model railway museum Nationaal Modelspoor Museum was housed. The museum was opened on January 29, 2005 by the Queen's Commissioner, Ed Nijpels . The Sneek taxi office is also located in the building.
