The station building was completed in 1906, and in 1907 the station was named Zhengyangmen East Station. It was renamed Qianmen Station in 1937 and Beijing Station the following year; after the Second World War it was successively renamed Beiping Station and Beiping East Station, and on 30 September 1949 it took back the name Beijing Station, which it has kept ever since. The original station stood east of Zhengyangmen, around the site of today's Zhengyangmen Gallery of the China Railway Museum[^zhwiki]. In 1958 the new Beijing Station was listed among the Ten Great Buildings of the capital. Construction began on 20 January 1959; the building was completed on 10 September and officially opened on 15 September. The station building was led in design by Yang Tingbao and Chen Deng'ao, and Mao Zedong calligraphed the "Beijing Station" name sign. The station occupies an area of 250,000 square metres[^zhwiki]. ### Lines and trains Beijing Station mainly handles passenger trains running via the [[concept_beijing_shanghai_railway|Beijing–Shanghai railway]] and [[concept_beijing_harbin_railway|Beijing–Harbin railway]] towards East and Northeast China, as well as international through passenger trains to Moscow in Russia, Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia and Pyongyang in North Korea[^zhwiki]. ## Metro station Metro Beijing Station lies by the north plaza of the railway station, on the north side of the junction of Beijing Station West Street, Beijing Station East Street and Beijing Station Street, within Jianguomen Subdistrict of Dongcheng District.
