History

Jorvas railway station originally a small stop (known as laituri in the old classification of railway stations in Finland used until 1969 [2] ) operating under the Masala railway station. The Plattformskjul III-type station building designed by architect Bruno Granholm was completed in 1903 and expanded in 1933 with the plans of architect Jarl Ungern. [3] The station remained in the Porkkala Naval Base leased to Soviet Union in 1944 and was re-opened for Finnish train traffic in 1956, as the naval base was returned to Finland. [3]

After the re-opening, the station functioned as a laiturivaihde (a non-independent, staffed station, usually operating under another nearby station, serving both passenger and freight traffic [2] ) for a short while in 1961–1968 and after that as a seisakevaihde (an unstaffed stop for both passenger and freight traffic [2] ). Freight traffic at the station ceased in 1987. The station building has since been demolished. [3]
