Terminal

The modern building of the station was built in 1975. The townspeople call it a "ship" for its resemblance to a large ocean liner, miraculously moored near the railroad tracks. Above the station towers a spire with a rook, the symbol of the city. The building is U-shaped and has 2 floors. The average height of the main premises is 3.35 m, the height of the lobby and hall is 8 m. The total area of the building by internal measurement is 1881.8 m2.[6]
