The Shijiazhuang Railway Station (simplified Chinese: 石家庄站; traditional Chinese: 石家莊站; pinyin: Shíjiāzhuāng zhàn) is the main railway station of Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province of the People's Republic of China. Over the city's history, the name has been applied to several different facilities located in the main Beijing-Guangzhou railway corridor. The current Shijiazhuang Railway Station was opened in December 2012; it is one of the very few stations in this railway corridor that serve both the ("conventional") Beijing–Guangzhou Railway and the new Beijing–Guangzhou High-Speed Railway.
Besides trains running along the two north-south Beijing-Guangzhou lines, Shijiazhuang Railway Station is also served by many (but not all) trains going east or west, along the Qingdao-Jinan-Dezhou-Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan corridor, which includes both a conventional railway and the Shijiazhuang–Taiyuan High-Speed Railway. However, some of the trains in the east-west corridor don't enter Shijiazhuang Railway Station; they bypass the city center, and stop at the smaller Shijiazhuang North Railway Station instead.
In January 2013, a typical daily schedule listed 265 trains originating, terminating, or passing through Shijiazhuang Railway Station.
Shijiazhuang Railway Station is by far the busiest train station in Hebei's capital region. E.g., during the 4-day holiday period from December 31, 2012 through January 3, 2013, 198,000 passengers departed from this station, out of the 279,000 passengers that departed from all station of the Greater Shijiazhuang taken together.
