What Changli Railway Station in the late Qing Dynasty looked like intuitively, we can see the attached picture 1 postcard of Changli parking lot in the Qing Dynasty and the attached picture 2 postcard of Changli Railway Station in the late Qing Dynasty. The Changli Railway Station on the postcard of the Changli Railway Station in the late Qing Dynasty is a small town located in front of Beidaihe Station on the Jingshan Line. It has been civilized and accessible for a long time. Judging from the attire of a big man carrying a box cannon on his shoulder and the big braid that is about to be cut, it is from the late Qing Dynasty. In the photo, pay attention to the missionary wearing a light-colored suit and top hat on the left in the center and the businessman holding a parasol on the left.

Changli Railway Station did not suffer major damage during the Tangshan earthquake 30 years ago. During the earthquake relief, Changli Railway Station was the first to reopen to traffic. From August 1, it became the main transport of injured people from the Tangshan earthquake to the Northeast. transfer station.

The Changli Railway Station that the author photographed a few days ago was rebuilt sixteen or seventeen years ago and renovated in the past few years. The appearance of the old train station has almost completely become history. In my memory, the old train station is a row of relatively solid bungalows with elevated elevations. The waiting room is slightly larger, but not very spacious; the most obvious thing inside the station is a north-south overpass, and then there are A relatively simple platform. It is difficult to determine clearly whether the old railway station was built in the 1890s, or whether it was renovated in the 1920s and 1930s. However, it now seems that although the rebuilt waiting room has the appearance of a hall, it is still a bit small; the platform inside the station, after the corresponding transformation of electrification and train speed increase in the past few years, has been extremely spacious, standardized, and much larger. .

There are many trains coming and stopping at Changli Railway Station, and the passenger flow is also very large. This is an important station in the pass. There are many long-distance express trains stopping here, which makes people's travel much more convenient. However, in recent years, going to Qinhuangdao is no longer mainly by train as it was a dozen years ago. There are many people taking work and personal cars, as well as small buses, so it is more convenient to go back and forth.
