The Visitor Center - About the building

The building opposite you was the first passenger hall and the station workers’ office

The building is not big but is very beautiful

Above the entrance is a triangular decoration

The corners of the building are decorated with special, beautifully shaped stones

The roof shingles were imported from Marseilles, France

The underground basement had a cistern to collect water

When you enter, you will see the opening of the cistern on the floor

One side of the building faces the tracks, while the other side faces the station yard

Today, the building houses interesting objects and photographs

from which we can learn a lot about the Valley Train

Before you go in, look at two interesting things

One – the wheels. These are wheels from the Valley Train

Two – a railroad switch

The switch was used to stop the train when it reached the station

You’re welcome to enter the building and watch the video in the room to the right

The site’s staff will play the video for you
