Shijiazhuang railway station (simplified Chinese: 石家庄站; traditional Chinese: 石家莊站; pinyin: Shíjiāzhuāng zhàn) is the railway station of Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province, China, on the main Beijing-Guangzhou rail corridor. The current station opened in 2012; it is one of the few stations that serves both the "conventional" Beijing–Guangzhou railway and the Beijing–Guangzhou high-speed railway.
Besides trains running along the two north-south Beijing-Guangzhou lines, Shijiazhuang railway station is also served by trains going east or west, along the Qingdao-Jinan-Dezhou-Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan corridor, which includes both a conventional railway and the Shijiazhuang–Taiyuan high-speed railway. Some of the trains on the east-west corridor do not stop at Shijiazhuang railway station, bypassing it and stopping at the smaller Shijiazhuang North railway station.
In 2013, a typical daily schedule listed 265 trains originating, terminating, or passing through Shijiazhuang railway station.
Shijiazhuang railway station is by far the busiest train station in Hebei's capital region. From December 31 2012 through January 3 2013, 198,000 passengers departed from this station, out of the 279,000 from all stations of Greater Shijiazhuang.
