Afula railway station (historical) (Afula)

 place with historical importance, train station

The Afula Railway Station (Afule during Ottoman period) was the fourth original station on the Jezreel valley line. It was named after the Arab village there, al-Fuleh, until the Jewish town Afula was founded there in 1925. The station was an important crossroads and served as a terminus for the Afula–Nablus extension of the valley line, which started operations to Jenin in 1913.
The station prompted the quick growth of al-Puleh/Afula, and various civilian and military installation were built in its vicinity, including a regional post office that served the entire Jezreel Valley built in 1922.
On November 1, 1945, the station was destroyed as part of the Night of the Trains by the Jewish Resistance Movement, and has not been used since. A museum was built on the grounds of the station, commemorating the history of the Jezreel Valley railway.
As part of the renewed Jezreel Valley railway project, by the middle of 2016 a new railway station will be built along the new railway's route, approximately 1.5 km north of the historic station's location.
