A station name board is fixed to the wall under the eaves of the gable end, but the lettering on it has gone soft in the printing and cannot be read. The building steps down from a two-storey centre with an oculus in its gable to single-storey wings, all of it under one continuous platform awning carried on cast columns. A low timber fence cross-braced in Xs runs the length of the platform edge with young shrubs set in a row behind it, a cast lamp standard stands out on the flags, and a rake of goods wagons is drawn up at the far end of the tracks.
About this place
The first station in Novi Sad, built in 1882 on the site of today's Liman market. The first train reached the city on 5 March 1883 from Subotica, and the line onward to Zemun opened that December. When the railway was moved north to make room for the growing city the station was demolished, and only its former post office building survives. Postcards of it are captioned Vasutallomas in Hungarian and Eisenbahnstation in German.
