Łódź Żabieniec railway station

Initially, in 1910, the site of station served as guard post, securing a single-level crossing between the Warsaw-Kalisz Railway and a tram line between Łódź and Aleksandrów.

The first building at the station was erected in 1951. Five years later a viaduct for Aleksandrowska street and tram tracks were constructed south to the station.

In 1972 the passenger section of the station, consisting of two single-edged platforms and an underground passage between them and the neighbouring streets, was opened south to the viaduct, leaving the already existing part of station for cargo service.[1]

The station's building was repurposed after 2010, due to closure of cash office. It has been adapted to serve as a restaurant.

The underground passage is notorious for being flooded during heavy rains. Refurbishment of the passage and reconstruction of the platforms began in 2019.[2]

The station is a crucial point for cargo transportation, as it serves branch lines to the production plants located in Teofilów, as well as EC-3 power plant.[3]

The station is served by the following services:

• Intercity services (IC) Łódź Fabryczna — Bydgoszcz — Gdynia Główna[4]
• Intercity services (IC) Gdynia - Gdańsk - Bydgoszcz - Toruń - Kutno - Łódź - Częstochowa - Katowice - Bielsko-Biała[5]
