Nizhnyaya Tura Railway Station

Nizhnyaya Tura railway station (Russian: станция Нижняя Тура) is a railway station located in Nizhnyaya Tura, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. It is part of the Sverdlovsk Railway, on the main line that connects Cheryomukhovo railway station and Goroblagodatskaya railway station [ru].

The passenger-and-freight station is one of three to serve the town, along with Mir [ru] and GRES [ru]. It forms the terminus of the Nizhneturinsk branch line, which separates from the main line at Vyya railway station [ru].

The station is in the western part of Nizhnyaya Tura. It has a stone two-storey building with a large waiting room built in the constructivist style in the middle of the 20th century. There are several outbuildings, including an early-20th century water tower. Roads link the station to industrial enterprises in the city. The station was opened in 1906, to link the Nizhneturinsky Nikolaev Arms Works [ru] to the line at Vyya.

The station serves commuter and freight traffic, with Elektrichka trains between Nizhny Tagil railway station [ru] and Verkhoturye railway station [ru], and those between Nizhny Tagil and Serov railway station, stopping here.
