Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox station
The Herrala railway station (Шаблон:Lang-fi, Шаблон:Lang-sv) is located in Hollola, Finland, in the village and urban area of Herrala. It is located along the Riihimäki–Lahti line, and its neighboring stations are Järvelä in the west and Lahti in the east.
History
Herrala is one of the original intermediate stations of the Riihimäki–Saint Petersburg railway, and was opened for passenger traffic in November 1869. The station was placed in the crossroads between the railway and the road from Hollola to Mäntsälä and Orimattila. The station played a role in the development of Herrala, and the village became home to various industries, including three brick factories, the last of which closed down in 1976. A sawmill was also founded; its activities ceased following a destructive fire in May 2017.[1][2]
Sometime in the 1970-80s, the main road of the village (currently named Herralantie and designated as regional road 2954) was realigned and its level crossing was replaced with an underpass.[3] In 2005, its platforms were rebuilt and moved closer towards Riihimäki, which made it possible to replace the former cross-platform pedestrian level crossing with the Herralantie underpass.[2]
Herrala has slowly lost its significance as an urban center, partly due to the development in the municipality of Hollola being focused in the seat of Salpakangas. Freight transport at the station was ceased in 1990 and its railyard was disassembled in 1997, making it a halt.[2]
Architecture
The original station building in Herrala was built according to stock plans for class IV stations on the Riihimäki–St. Petersburg line, designed by Knut Nylander.Шаблон:Efn The station was expanded first in 1880, and again in 1897 with an additional western wing designed by Bruno Granholm. As per a railyard diagram dating to 1873, the premises of the station also included a warehouse, a roundhouse at the northern end of the railyard, two workshops and a workers' residence, among other miscellaneous buildings,[4] all of which have been demolished since.[3]
The first station building was demolished and replaced with a new one in 1953. The second station was built approximately Шаблон:Convert to the east of the first,[3] and is distinctive in that while most of the stations of the era were built out of wood and with simple architectural principles, Herrala was given an elaborate centrally heated two-level brick building.[2] An electrically controlled signal box was constructed into the station building in 1995.[5]
