History

Korso railway station was originally opened in 1889 as a meeting point for trains, back when the Finnish main line still had only one track.[1] Passenger traffic began the next year. The station received its name from a nearby border post of rural municipalities known as Korsrå.[1]

The original station building was destroyed in a fire in 1918 and replaced by a new one, designed by architect Thure Hellström, the same year. The station building was built with the same designs as Kauhajoki and Teuva stations on the Seinäjoki–Kaskinen railway, but has been modified a number of times since then.[1] The station building is no longer in its original use. The ticket sales office was moved into a retail building located on the other side of the railway line in 1996 and was eventually closed in 2003.[1]
