Shenyang North railway station

The station opened in 1911.[http://liaoning.d0086.com/slm/anshan/tlm/tiexi/sljt/xxlcz.htm 鼎言商旅网：沈阳北站介紹]{{in lang|zh}} Shenyang North railway station was formerly the "Liaoning main station" ({{zh|labels=no|c=遼寧總站}}) before 1946 and colloquially known as the "Old North Station" ({{zh|labels=no|c=老北站}}). The original building was built in 1927. The current Main Station Building ({{zh|labels=no|c=主站房}}) began construction in 1986, was commissioned for operation in December 1990,[http://www.railcn.net/knowledge/railway-history/410.html 沈阳北站：“京哈铁路”动脉上的心脏:中国铁路网] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20130222151639/http://www.railcn.net/knowledge/railway-history/410.html |date=2013-02-22 }}{{in lang|zh}} and became one of the five most important railway hubs in China, earning itself the nickname "Northeast's No. 1 Station" ({{zh|labels=no|c=东北第一站}}).

In 2011, a huge expansion project known as the "North Station Transport Hub Reconstruction Project" ({{zh|labels=no|c=北站交通枢纽改造工程}}) was initiated in response to the growing demand for floor area posed by the increasing passenger traffic after introduction of the high-speed rail service. The station now has an additional 3-storey "Sub-Station Building" ({{zh|labels=no|c=子站房}}) and a "Northern Square" ({{zh|labels=no|c=北广场}}) on the north (Huanggu District) side of the railways, while the old waiting lounge in the original 16-storey Main Station Building is now relocated to a large elevated concourse that bridges over the rail tracks, with a pillar-less roof (the largest in mainland China) doming the platforms. The South Square ({{zh|labels=no|c=南广场}}) outside the Main Station Building was rebuilt into a multi-levelled complex, with two above ground forming an elevated airport-style drop-off zone and a large ground-level area for bus stops, as well as a three-level underground city providing shopping malls, car parks, taxi pick-up and interchange with Subway Line 2, while also capable of rapid conversion into an air raid shelter if needed.
