History
The National Romantic style station building of Pitäjänmäki railway station designed by architect Bruno Granholm was completed in 1902 and was expanded in 1911.{{Cite book |last=Iltanen |first=Jussi |title=Radan varrella: Suomen rautatieliikennepaikat |publisher=Karttakeskus |year=2009 |isbn=978-951-593-214-3 |pages=23 |language=fi}}
Pitäjänmäki was outlined to become a junction station already during the construction of the Rantarata line, with a rail connection planned to be built from Helsinki to Loimaa and further to the Tampere–Pori railway line, ending either at Peipohja (current Kokemäki) or Riste. These plans were later abandoned.
A freight station was opened at the Pitäjänmäki station in 1970 and remained operational until 1988. The ticket sales office at Pitäjänmäki was closed in 1987. The railyard received its current form during the construction of the Leppävaara urban line.
