Yangon Central Station

Yangon Central Station (Birmanisch: ရန်ကုန် ဘူတာကြီး [jàɰ̃ɡòʊɰ̃ bùdàdʑí]) ist der Hauptbahnhof von Yangon. Der Bahnhof liegt in der südlichen Innenstadt von Yangon. Im Netz der Myanmar Railways (MR) ist er als Durchgangsbahnhof gleichzeitig ein Halt der Ringbahn Yangon, verschiedener Regionalverbindungen und der Fernzüge nach Mandalay, Dawei und Pyay. Geschichte Der erste Bahnhof im damaligen Rangun entstand anlässlich der Eröffnung der ersten Bahnstrecke des Landes 1877. Das Empfangsgebäude stand im südlichen Bereich der heutigen Anlage und war, wie sein Nachfolger durch seine Viktorianische Architektur geprägt. 1911 wurde es durch ein größeres Gebäude abgelöst, das eine Fassadenlänge von 228 m hatte, und eine Grundfläche von 3763 m². Dieses Gebäude wurde von den sich zurückziehenden anglo-indische Truppen 1943 und dann weiter von den folgenden Kämpfen im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstört. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde von 1947 bis 1954 ein drittes Empfangsgebäude errichtet, das bis heute seine Funktion erfüllt. Infrastruktur Das heutige Empfangsgebäude ist das dritte des Bahnhofs und stammt von dem Architekten U Tin und dem Ingenieur U Hla Thwin. Es entstand in Anlehnung an historische birmesische Bauformen und wurde am 5. Juni 1954 eingeweiht. Seit 1996 ist es als Kulturdenkmal eingestuft. Der Bahnhof hat sieben Bahnsteiggleise, einen Hausbahnsteig und drei Mittelbahnsteige. Der vom Empfangsgebäude am weitesten gelegene, südliche Bahnsteig dient den Zügen der Ringbahn Yangon.

Yangon Central railway station

Yangon Central railway station (Burmese: ရန်ကုန် ဘူတာကြီး [jàɰ̃ɡòʊɰ̃ bùdàdʑí]), also known as Yangon Central Station, is the central station of Myanmar. It is located within downtown Yangon, and serves as the gateway to Myanmar Railways' 3,126 mi (5,031 km) rail network whose reach covers Upper Myanmar (Naypyidaw, Mandalay, Shwebo), upcountry (Myitkyina), Shan Hills (Taunggyi, Kalaw), and the Taninthayi coast (Mawlamyine, Ye). With an area of 5110 m2 (55,000 sq ft), it is the largest railway station in the country. The station was first built in 1877 by the British and was later demolished and rebuilt in 1911. However, the station was destroyed by the retreating British in 1943 to prevent it from falling to the advancing Japanese forces during World War II. The current station building was designed by U Tin in traditional Burmese architectural style, making prominent use of indigenous tiered roofs called pyatthat, and was completed on 5 June 1954. It has been designated a landmark building. History 1877–1954 Yangon Central railway station was first built in 1877 by the British to support Burma's first railway line, from Yangon to Pyay. The station was located on the southern side of the railway compound on the upper block of Phayre Street (now Pansodan Street) in the downtown area. The building was designed in the British Victorian style and the access roads were bordered by grassy lawns. The beauty of the property prompted locals to praise the new structure as the Fairy Station. The station became a prominent target for Japanese bombers during World War II. In 1943, it was destroyed by British forces retreating to India. The station was rebuilt following the war according to a design based on Burmese traditional architectural styles, drawn by engineer Hla Thwin. The new structure was 5,110 square metres (55,000 sq ft) in size. To the north were grass lawns, gardens and wide access lanes. The new design was approved by the Railway Authority on 7 May 1946. Construction was started in January 1947 by engineer Sithu U Tin and completed in May 1954 at a total cost of K4.75 million. The opening ceremony of the new Yangon Central railway station was held on 5 June 1954. 1954–present In December 2007, the Yangon city government announced a master plan that would have resulted in Yangon Central being relocated to a satellite town, East Dagon, 32 kilometres (20 mi) from downtown Yangon at an unspecified date; this did not come to fruition. In 2016, Al Jazeera featured the station's significant homeless population who have made the railway terminal their permanent residence.

В 1996 году Центральный железнодорожный вокзал внесён в список наследия города Янгон. История Центральный железнодорожный вокзал Янгона был впервые построен в 1877 году британцами для поддержки первой железнодорожной линии Бирмы от Янгона до Пьи. Станция располагалась на южной стороне железнодорожного вокзала в верхнем блоке улицы Фейр (ныне улица Пансодан) в центре города. Здание было выполнено в британском викторианском стиле, а подъездные пути были окаймлены зелёными лужайками, что побудило местных жителей восхвалять сооружение как Сказочную станцию. Станция стала излюбленной целью японских бомбардировщиков во время Второй мировой войны. В 1943 году вокзал был разрушен британскими войсками, отступавшими в Индию. После войны станция была перестроена по проекту инженера Хла Твина на основе традиционной бирманской архитектуры. Площадь нового здания составила 5 110 м². К северу были лужайки, сады и широкие подъездные пути. Новый проект был одобрен 7 мая 1946 года и строительство началось в январе 1947 года инженером У Тином и завершено в мае 1954 года. Церемония открытия состоялась 5 июня 1954 года. Галерея См. также Центральный телеграф (Янгон) Ратуша Янгона Примечания Ссылки Официальный сайт Архивная копия от 18 июня 2015 на Wayback Machine
