Location

Taling Chan Station is a railway station located in Taling Chan District, Bangkok. It is operated by the State Railway of Thailand and serves two routes: the Southern Main Line and the Bang Sue–Taling Chan SRT Light Red Line. It is located 22.136 kilometres from Bangkok railway station. Taling Chan Junction serves as a junction for the mainline from Bangkok and the short branchline to Thon Buri railway station, near Siriraj Hospital.

Taling Chan Station is also the terminus for the current Light Red Line from Bang Sue. In the past, the station building was a wooden structure with about five platforms. Since 2009, the station was rebuilt to concrete and other tracks were removed for the SRT Light Red Line new tracks.

1979 Taling Chan rail crash

On the morning of 21 August 1979, a packed Ratchaburi-Thon Buri train (No.165, now 352) approached the intersection around Taling Chan Junction and hit a freight train from Bang Sue Junction to Padang Besar. The train driver ignored a red signal. The freight train collided with the passenger train and both derailed. There were 51 deaths and 138 injuries. The majority of the passengers were students and merchants coming for trade near Thon Buri Station. The crash was one of the most severe rail disasters in Thailand.
