Skulte Station is a railway station serving the village of Skulte in Skulte Parish, Latvia. The station is the northern terminus of the Zemitāni–Skulte Railway.
The Skulte platform was opened on 1 October 1934Tom Altbergs, Karina Augustane, Ieva Petersone . Latvian Railways. — Jumava, 2009. Page 186. ISBN 978-9984-38-698-0 on the Riga-Rujiena line. The passenger building was built in 1952.
In 1991, in connection with the opening of the Skulte port on the shore of the Gulf of Riga, the platform was rebuilt into a station, with a branch from the northern neck to a loading and unloading area, where the arriving cargo is reloaded onto road transport for subsequent delivery to the port.
In the same year, the Zvejniekciems - Skulte section was electrified, and the station, as the final point of the route, was equipped for the turnover of electric trains.
