Gangshan Station (Chinese: 岡山車站; pinyin: Gāngshān Chēzhàn) is a railway station on the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) Western Line located in Gangshan District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.[2]

History

The station was opened on December 15, 1900 as Agongdian Station (阿公店停車場), and was renamed as Okayama Station (岡山駅) in 1920. In November 1923, a second, wooden station building was opened to replace the original 1900 station. The current station building was opened on October 29, 1993, and the 1923 wooden station building burned down on November 3, 1995. Contactless smartcard fare gates were installed at this station on September 30, 2013.

The KMRT Red Line is expected to be extended northwards to Gangshan Station by 2020.
