Gniew is a closed PKP railway station in Gniew ( Pomeranian Voivodeship), Poland.
The idea of connecting Gniew to the railway network was initially rejected in the mid-19th century as the town already had good transport connections via the Vistula to Nowe and Świecie. [1] By the end of the century it was believed that the lack of a rail connection was having a negative economic effect on the town, and in 1897 ℳ45,000 were raised by citizens of Gniew to unsuccessfully fund one. [2] Only 55 years after the construction of the Prussian Eastern Railway were residents of the town successful in their campaign to have Gniew connected by branchline to Morzeszczyn. [3] [4] Built in a Neo-Gothic style Gniew station opened on 5 January 1905. [3] [5] Operating as the terminus on line 244 trains departing Gniew stopped at Brodzkie Młyny and Brody Pomorskie stations before arriving at their destination. [5]
The last passenger service left Gniew station on 10 July 1989 [5] with freight services ending in 1992. [3]
