Innsbruck Stubaital station, Railway terminal station in Innsbruck, Austria
Innsbruck Stubaital station is a former railway terminal with a main building, a two-track locomotive shed, and multiple tracks that once handled regular maintenance and operations. The complex now serves as a museum showcasing preserved historic railway equipment from the valley's transport past.
The terminal opened in 1903 as Wilten-Stubai and served the Stubai Valley Railway until major operational changes in 1983. Modifications during the 1970s removed its freight depot and integrated it with the Innsbruck tram network, marking a shift in its transport role.
The Localbahn Museum housed in this former station displays historic railway vehicles from the Stubai Valley line and regional branch networks. Visitors can experience how local transportation shaped the valley's connection to Innsbruck over the decades.
The site is accessible to visitors interested in railway history and operates as an open museum space. You can walk around the preserved vehicles and buildings to understand how the station functioned as a working terminal.
During summer 2007, the station was temporarily reactivated to handle regular train services while maintenance work was underway on the Innsbruck tram network. This rare return to its original purpose came decades after its transformation into a museum.
