railway station at the end of the line ofJokioinen Museum Railway . The station is located inHumppila municipality inFinland , and it is located almost directly across the tracks ofTurku–Toijala railway line fromHumppila railway station .The station is located approximately 300 meters (330 yards) east from the original
Jokioinen Railway passenger platform. The original narrow gauge station in Humppila was opened in1898 and closed in1974 , and the tracks between Minkiö and Humppila were lifted in1975 . This eight-kilometre (five-mile) section was rebuilt during1992 –1994 and opened for traffic onJune 5 1994 . Due to the ongoing underpass work at broad gauge railyard, the current museum railway station had to be founded due east from the original location.Originally the Jokioinen Railway did not had a station building in Humppila. The
Humppila railway station on the broad gauge national line served both railroads until Jokioinen Railway was closed in1974 .The current museum railway station building originally stood at
Matku railway station .References
