The Isokyrö railway station (Finnish: Isonkyrön rautatieasema, Swedish: Storkyro järnvägsstation) is a closed station located in the municipality of Isokyrö, Finland, in the village of Orismala. It was located along the Seinäjoki–Vaasa railway, and its neighboring stations at the time of closing were Ylistaro in the east and Tervajoki in the west.[3]
History
Isokyrö was opened under the name of Orismala at the same time as the rest of the Seinäjoki–Vaasa line, on 29 September 1883. It was established in the crossing between the railway and the road from the Isokyrö Church to the Orisberg Manor, being named after the latter. Being founded as a pysäkki, it was promoted to a class V station in 1888. A small village formed around the station, and as the former Isokyrö railway station became an unmanned halt under the name of Ventälä, Orismala was granted the name of the municipality instead. The new Isokyrö in turn became unmanned in 1989.[3]
Isokyrö remained as a passenger station until 20 June 2016, when it was closed along with
Architecture
The station building was constructed according to stock blueprints from for the stations on the Vaasa line; it was later expanded with plans from Bruno Granholm. The premises also included a two-spot roundhouse, which was dismantled in 1922. The station building and its related buildings were transferred under the ownership of Senate Properties and put up for sale in 2007.[3]
