Presently, Fengtai Railway Station is a minor railway station located in the Fengtai District of Beijing, China. Dating from 1898, it has been closed for passenger service since June 2010, in preparation for a major project: the construction of the [New] Fengtai Railway Station. The [New] Fengtai Railway Station will be a major train station, constructed on a similar scale to Beijing South Railway Station.[1] It will become the main Beijing terminal for high-speed trains,[1] and will be considered the starting point of the Beijing–Guangzhou Railway.[2] The construction work on the [New] Fengtai Railway Station is expected to start in late 2012.[1]

The Fengtai Railway station is served by a station of the same name on Line 10 of the Beijing Subway.[3][4] The subway station opened May 5, 2013.

Signs on Line 10 trains (above) and on the platforms (below) prior to the opening of the Fengtai Railway Station and Niwa Station on May 5, 2013.

It will also connect with Line 16 in the future.[5]
