Beit Shemesh Railway Station is a railway station in Beit Shemesh, Israel on the Kfar Saba – Jerusalem line. The station is located near the northern industrial zone of Beit Shemesh. After being closed several times, it was most recently re-opened on 13 September 2003, having existed at the same location for close to a century on the railway line from Jaffa to Jerusalem originally built in the late 19th century during Ottoman rule. [Friedman, Jane. [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D07E1DB1E39F934A3575BC0A965948260&sec=travel&spon=&pagewanted=print "SLOW TRAIN TO JERUSALEM"] , "The New York Times", August 7, 1983. Accessed September 23, 2007. "Built in 1892 by the French during the Turkish reign, the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem line is one of the few early Middle East train lines to have survived the effects of wars and sands."] The station consists of three platforms.
Although Beit Shemesh is on an inter-city railway line, the trains are operated by the Suburban Division of Israel Railways. There is hourly train service.
