Jerusalem–Khan railway station

The Jerusalem railway station (Hebrew: תחנת הרכבת ירושלים, Tahanat HaRakevet Yerushalayim; Arabic: محطة قدس شريف) is a historic railway station in Jerusalem, located between Hebron Road and Bethlehem Road, near the German Colony. It is also known as the Jerusalem–Khan railway station (Hebrew: תחנת הרכבת ירושלים – החאן, Tahanat HaRakevet Yerushalayim–HaKhan) after the caravanserai building, now the Khan Theater located across the road, to differentiate it from the Jerusalem–Malha and Jerusalem–Yitzhak Navon stations opened after its closure. It served as the eastern terminus of the Jaffa–Jerusalem railway until its closure in 1998.

The station opened in 1892 during the Ottoman period at an elevation of 787 metres (2,582 ft) on the 86.6 kilometer mark of the Jaffa–Jerusalem line. In 1998 this railway along with the station were closed and the station was not included in the restoration of the Tel Aviv – Jerusalem line, completed in 2005, at which point Jerusalem–Malha station became the line's eastern terminus. Following its closure, the station lay neglected for many years, although the railway yard was used for annual events such as the Hebrew Book Week. After undergoing an extensive restoration, it reopened as a culture and entertainment center in May 2013.

A new, completely-underground railway station is expected to open at the site by the mid-2030s. Instead of the original Jaffa–Jerusalem railway, this new station will be served by a new underground railway extending from the future Jerusalem–Central railway station located to the northwest.
