Pizhou railway station is a station on Longhai railway in Pizhou, Xuzhou, Jiangsu.

History

The station was established in 1923. Since Longhai railway crossed over the Grand Canal here, it was named as Yunhe railway station (literally Canal railway station) initially.

The station was renamed as Pixian railway station (literally Pi County railway station) in 1954. In 1992, Pi County was promoted to Pizhou City, but the station name remained unchanged until 2005.
