Station to close after 106 years

Construction of a new high-speed railway is expected to be completed in 2019

Trains will stop at a 106-year-old station in Beijing for the final time on Monday next week before the tracks are torn up to make way for a high-speed rail link.

The buildings at Qinghuayuan Railway Station will remain as a memorial, but the lines will be removed to allow the construction of a tunnel for the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, Beijing Youth Daily reported.
