History
Station Turkmenbashi in the Moorish style was built in the years 1895–96. The station building was designed by Architect Aleksey Benua, who had worked in Krasnovodsk. The architecture of the station contains many elements of the Romanov Palace.
As early as 1931, the Krasnovodsk-Chardzhou railway was converted to diesel traction.
The railway station is a single-story building with thick, high walls. It includes three rooms: one with ticket counters, another with seating for passengers, and a central corridor providing access to the platform and the exterior. Staircases connect the station building to the passenger platform. The basement houses administrative and utility rooms. The station is designated as a 19th-century historical monument.
