Bratislava Železná studienka railway station
Bratislava Železná studienka railway station (, , ) is a small railway station (technically a train halt) inside the Bratislava Forest Park recreational zone in northern Bratislava, Slovakia. The station is still in use, although few trains stop here nowadays. It has two platforms, the one by rail number one being long and wide and the one by rail number two being long and wide. Etymology Until 1947, the train station was called Červený most (Red bridge in English). From 1947 to 1951 it was called Bratislava - Červený most. In 1951 it received its current name Bratislava - Železná studienka. It is named after the area it is situated in - Železná studienka (Little iron well in English). The name comes from the fact, that in the past people thought the water source here was rich in iron and minerals, but 19th century analysis showed the water here is not mineral. History The original Red bridge was built in 1848 next to the place where the train station will once be, carrying only one rail track on the Wien – Gänserndorf – Bratislava line, which was launched on August 20, 1848. The bridge crossed the valley over river Vydrica.
