Mashhad railway station

Mashhad railway station (Persian: ايستگاه راه آهن مشهد, Istgah-e Rah Ahan-e Mashhad) is located in Mashhad, Razavi Khorasan, the second largest city of Iran. The station is owned by IRI Railways, and was designed by Heydar Ghiai.

Design and Opening
Mashhad railway station was opened by Pahlavi II and his queen Shahbanoo Sorayya Esfandiari on May 2, 1957, with the arrival of the royal train. Since Khorasan is the land of Ashkanians and Parthians and Mashhad is close to the original capital of them (Parten Nesa), this structure was designed inspired by Parthian architecture (Hatra Palace).

Symbol
The crown symbol in front of the station is refer to Afsharian's hat and Nader's crown. It was design by Yaghoob Danesh Doost.

Park
Railroad Square and Boulevard is one of the greenest and most beautiful parks and recreation areas in Mashhad. In 2017, during the Taghizade Khamesi municipality period, with the aim of redefining and transforming it into an urban arena space (plaza) and using the potential of the lower levels of the area, it was put on the agenda of Mashhad urban management, and the symbol of the sq. returned to its original form.
