Amstelveen station is a former railway station at Stationsstraat 28 in Amstelveen. The station, of the Standard HESM type, was located on the Amsterdam–Aalsmeer line, and was opened on 1 May 1915. On 3 September 1950 the station was closed to passenger transport. It was still used for freight transport until 27 May 1972. Since 3 April 1983 the Electrische Museumtramlijn Amsterdam has a stop here. Until 25 April 1997, this was also the terminus of the museum tram. On the north side, at the viaduct on Rijksweg 9, a changeover has been built. The station building has remained and has been a municipal monument since 1998. The building underwent a refurbishment in 2010 and is used as a shop and living space. Amstelveen Station is known in Sweden from children's books as the Monsterstation, as described by the writer Johan Elfner, who also runs a hotel at this location. Service to Amstelveen and all other stations south of Parklaan is currently suspended.
