Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Acre Railway Station (Hebrew: ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿, Täanat HaRakevet Ako) is an Israel Railways passenger station serving the city of Acre (Akko) and the surrounding towns and villages. The station is situated on the North-South coastal line. The Station is located on David Remez Street (Hebrew: ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿, Re¿ov Remez) in the eastern part of the city, across the road from the city market and a short walking distance from the central bus station . The present-day station stands on the spot of a halt that existed as early as the 1930s on the Beirut - Cairo railway, constructed by the British during their Mandate for Palestine. The station underwent a complete reconstruction from the summer of 2001 until the spring of 2002, which included the update to the present passenger station format of Israel Railways, as well as the erection of an island platform (housing platforms 2 and 3), a modern station hall and a tunnel connecting the two platforms. The official inauguration of the new station hall was on May 21, 2002.
