Zhenjiang Railway Station (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Zhènjiāng zhàn) (IATA: ZUJ) is a railway station of Jinghu railway and Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity Railway.The station located in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, China.
The original Zhenjiang Railway Station opened in 1908, as part of the Shanghai-Nanjing railway. In 1977, to handle increasing passenger load, the station was relocated to a new site on the west side of the city.
In May 2010, simultaneously with the opening of the Shanghai–Nanjing Intercity High-Speed Railway (whose tracks, in Zhenjiang area, closely parallel those of the "original" Shanghai-Nanjing railway), the new Zhenjiang CRH Railway Station was opened on the southern side of the tracks, opposite the "old" station, which is north of the tracks (32°12′2″N 119°25′39″E / 32.20056°N 119.42750°E). As of the early 2011, the old station serves all the non-CRH trains (i.e., the conventional T, K, and slower trains) as well as some of the CRH D-series trains; the new CRH station serves the Shanghai–Nanjing Intercity High-Speed Railway trains (i.e., all G-series trains) as well as most of the D-series trains. There is a (long) underground pedestrian passage connecting the northern and southern rail stations' plazas.
