Timișoara West railway station is a station located in Freidorf district of Timișoara. Crossed by CFR Line 926 (Timișoara–Cruceni), the station is currently transited mainly by freight trains serving the fuel depots in the area; a single passenger train connects Timișoara to Cruceni, a village located 49 km from the city.[1]
Traffic on the 49-km-long Timișoara–Cruceni railway began on 31 July 1897.[2] Timișoara West originally had a Class III station building with a side wing (opened in 1897, in the same year as the railway).[3] A new station was built in the 1970s about 350 m from the old building.[4] Over time, it had several names, depending on the politico-historical context: at the time of the inauguration of the Timișoara–Cruceni railway it was named Szabadfalu (the Hungarian name of Freidorf), after World War I it was called Sâmbăta, and after World War II Freidorf; it got its current name in the 1970s.
