Pezinok railway station (Slovak: Železničná stanica Pezinok) is the main railway station in Pezinok.
Pezinok railway station is located on double-tracked electrified railway line No. 120 Bratislava – Žilina. It is oriented in the north-south direction and it is electrified with traction voltage system 25 kV, 50 Hz. Station belongs to the oldest stations, it was built on the first Slovak railway with animal traction. Horse railway went from Bratislava to Trnava and Sereď, its first section from Bratislava to Svätý Jur was opened on 24 September 1840 and from Svätý Jur to Pezinok on 30 June 1841.
Traffic on the animal railway was stopped on 15 October 1872, due its rebuilding to steam-machine railway. Transport in the steam traction was recovered on 1 May 1873 by Považie railway company (Slovak: Spoločnosť považskej železnice). From that time, the form of the station has changed several times. Last time, it was in the connection with the construction of the V. corridor. Modernization of the station started in 2005 and construction works took two years.[1]
