Kivimäe railway station (Estonian: Kivimäe raudteepeatus) is a railway station in the Nõmme district of Tallinn, Estonia.[2] The station serves the Kivimäe sub-district which has approximately 4800 residents.
It is located approximately 10 kilometers (6,2 mi) southwest from the Baltic station (Estonian: Balti jaam) which is the main railway station of Tallinn, near the Baltic Sea. The Kivimäe railway station is located between Hiiu and Pääsküla railway stations of Tallinn-Keila railway. The station was opened on November 3, 1924.
There are two platforms along the two-track railway, 133 and 146 meters long. Elron's electric trains from Tallinn to Keila, Paldiski, Turba and Klooga-Rand stop at Kivimäe station.[1] The station belongs to the Zone I, within which traffic is free for Tallinners.
There is a possibility to transfer to bus line 27 northwest of the railway station on Pärnu maantee.
In 1937 a station building was completed from silicate bricks according to the project of Hendrik Otlood, which in 1997 was declared a cultural monument.
