Lubāna railway station

Lubana is the terminus of a former railway line Madona - Lubāna, which was founded in 1935. This railway line Madona - Lubāna is closed. It was 35 kilometer long and was built as a broad gauge line with 1524 mm track gauge. It is closed since 1990. The railway line connected Madona with Lubāna, went through area Prauliena and area Indrāni, also a bit along the boarder from area Sarkaņi. In this railway line were 6 stations- Madona (which is still functional at the line Pļaviņas - Gulbene), Prauliena, Visagals, Meirāni, Jaunlubāna, Lubāna.

There was planned to connect this railway line with the continuation from line Rīga - Ērgļi and to build a railway line from Lubāna to Kārsava.  However, these plans failed because of the occupation of Latvia in 1940 and the Second World War. During the war this railway line was damaged, but already in 1945 it was restored. In 1963 the line was closed for passengers.

2002 the railway line was transmitted to the town government. The final decision to close the whole line was made 2004. Because at the unused line occurred thefts, 2007 the railroad was removed.
