History

Pukinmäki railway station was originally opened in June 1886 near the Pukinmäki Manor as a small stop (known as laituri in the old classification of railway stations in Finland used until 1969[2]) for local trains that operated under the Malmi railway station.[3] At first, the stop was used only in the summer, but ten years later it was in use throughout the year.[3] In the 1900's, the areas near the stop were turned into villa properties and in 1915 a densely populated community was formed in Pukinmäki.[3]

The first station building was completed around 1910. The second station building, designed by architect Thure Hellström, was completed in 1934. The second building was closed as a station in 1982, when a new ticket sales office and a waiting room were completed on the northern side of Ring I. The ticket sales office was closed in 2000 and the office was converted into a restaurant.[3]
