The Dinaburg Railway Station in Riga

 

The Dinaburg Railway Station and the railway separate the city centre from the Moskauer Vorstadt .

The Railway Station was built in 1861. In 1889 a chapel was erected to commemorate the marvellous rescue of Emperor Alexander III from a train collision. The chapel was taken down in 1925 and the old station building in 1960. It has been replaced by the Central Station, preserved in general details to the present day.
