About this site
Kontiomäki is the junction station for the railway lines running northward from Kajaani to Taivalkoski and from Oulu to Joensuu. The extensive and diverse station area has been built in several phases. Kontiomäki station serves both passenger and freight traffic. Next to the mansard-roofed station building is a station restaurant in its own building, still in use as a restaurant. In addition, the station area contains an extensive railway workers' residential area with outbuildings, as well as an office and a goods warehouse. The locomotive shed and water tower, which are an essential part of the station area, are situated at the southern end of the station area. Around the station area's surroundings there are several railway workers' residential buildings, a large proportion of which are in private ownership.
