Tondi railway station ((エストニア語:Tondi raudteepeatus)) is a railway station in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. It is the third station on Elron's western route, between Lilleküla and Järve stations. It is located beside the level crossing of Tondi street, on the border of Tondi and Kitseküla subdistricts. It is one of two places in Tallinn where the commuter train and tram stations are conjoined (the other is the terminus Balti jaam). The station is served by all commuter trains heading to Keila, Paldiski, Riisipere and Kloogaranna. It consists of two 167 metre platforms. Although the Tallinn–Paldiski railway existed already in 1870, a station on the site was opened in 1933. The line from Tallinn to back then a nearby town Nõmme (as far as Pääsküla) was electrified already in 1924. In 1933 the tram line was drawn out to the new station building and a depot was built. The station building was closed to the public in 1998 and remained in very bad condition. In 2006 it was declared a cultural heritage monument. In 2012 the old platforms were replaced with new lower ones. The upper wooden part of the station building was also demolished after several fires. Since the building was a cultural heritage monument, the elements of the building were charted and the plans of restoring it in the genuine appearance still remain. It is planned to convert the level crossing into a railway viaduct in the future to reduce the traffic congestion during the rush hours.
