Wałbrzych Fabryczny is a railway station in the city of Wałbrzych, in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in south-western Poland.
History The station was opened by Prussian State Railways as Waldenburg on 15 August 1867, originally part of the historical Silesian Mountain Railway, serving at the time as the main station of Wałbrzych. It is a major hub for freight trains heading to local mines, including the Victoria (at the time Gluckhilf) mine, were a railway line ran from the station to the mine, which opened 14 years earlier in 1853.
After World War II, the area came under Polish administration. As a result, the station was taken over by Polish State Railways. It was renamed to Borowieck (later Wałbrzych) and eventually to its modern name, Wałbrzych Fabryczny, in 1947. Wałbrzych Fabryczny continues to serve as a major freight hub in the area, serving local mines.
