Vejen railway station

Vejen railway station opened on 3 October 1874 as one of the original intermediate stations on the Lunderskov–Esbjerg railway line. After the opening of the railway line, a railway town developed around the station. In 1917, the station became a railway junction as the Troldhede-Kolding-Vejen Railway opened the railway line from Kolding to Troldhede with a short branch line from Gesten to Vejen which was opened on 25 August 1917. The Gesten–Vejen branch line was closed on 1 April 1951. ==Architecture==
