Closed | 28 May 1995 |
Electrified | 1938 |
Pelto request stop was opened on 2 January 1931. The request stop was planned to be abolished in 1978 but due a local small hospital and the wishes of a few locals it remained. The Pelto request stop was very rarely used as the area is in a field and has very few houses near it. On 28 May 1995 Pelto request stop was abolished due to extremely low number of users (estimated 5-20 per day.) There is currently nothing remaining of the request stop; even the crossing was abolished in 2006. The L train was the only train that stopped at Pelto, and only if a passenger requested it to do so.
