Rzeszów Główny

Rzeszów Główny is a railway station located in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, serving as a major transport hub in southeastern Poland and classified as a provincial station. It was opened on November 15, 1858, as part of the construction of the Galician Karl Ludwig Railway, which connected Vienna, Kraków, and Lviv. From the very beginning, it underwent numerous changes and modernizations, including a significant reconstruction in 1908, when structures such as a restaurant and a platform veranda were added. Despite severe damage during the wars, the station building has retained its original architectural style. Today, the station offers modern amenities such as electronic luggage storage, information services, and covered platforms, including the longest platform, number 2, which ensures passenger comfort. In recent years, the station has undergone significant upgrades, including a new dynamic passenger information system and the construction of an underground parking lot. Rzeszów Główny is well-connected to the bus station and has numerous links to local transport lines, making it a key transportation point. An interesting feature is the Tkt48-27 locomotive, a technical monument located near the station. During World War I and World War II, the station played a crucial role as a transport hub. Today, Rzeszów Główny is an excellent example of blending traditional architecture with modern transportation solutions.
