Fier railway station

Fier railway station () is a railway station that serves the city of Fier in Fier County in Southern Albania.

History The station opened on 13 October 1968 after the railway line from (on the Durrës-Elbasan railway) to Fier was completed. The station was the southern terminus of the line until it was extended southwards to Ballsh in 1975, though passenger services south of Fier did not commence until the line was extended further southwards to in 1985.

Like , Fier was a busy transportation hub in the days of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania for ores and fertiliser freight at a time when road infrastructure was still underdeveloped. In 1991, the International Fertilizer Development Center reported that 80-90% of fertiliser produced in Fier and Laç was transported by rail. Although the journey estimates were optimistic, the transportation methods were not suitable and were in need of revision.pg.29
