Elazığ station (Turkish: Elazığ garı) is a railway station in the city of Elazığ, Turkey. TCDD Taşımacılık operates two intercity trains to Ankara[1] or Van,[1] and Adana[2] as well as one regional train to Tatvan.
The station was completed, by the Turkish State Railways, on 1 July 1934 and inaugurated on 11 August with a large ceremony. Originally, Elazığ was planned to be on the railway from Fevzipaşa to Diyarbakır but due to the difficult terrain, the route to Diyarbakır was chosen to diverge 24 km (15 mi) southwest at Yolçatı; nevertheless, a branch line was built from the junction to Elazığ. Unlike Malatya station, Elazığ was not built in the Art deco style instead consisting of a generic station building.[3] When the railway was completed east to Tatvan, the Elazığ station building was enlarged to accommodate new offices and passenger traffic.[4]
