Gdańsk Zaspa Towarowa is a former SKM stop in Gdańsk, Poland. It is no longer used after canceling passenger service on Gdańsk - Nowy Port line in June 2005. This line is now used only for freight transport.
The stop is likely to have re-open by 2012 as it is near to the location of the future stadium PGE Arena, which is planned for 2012 UEFA European Football Championship. It is suggested that this stop should be renamed for Gdańsk PGE Arena, as the present name is rather illegible for foreign visitors.
The line connecting Gdańsk Główny (Danzig Hbf.) with Gdańsk Nowy Port (Danzig Neufahrwasser) was opened in October 1867. It had been electrified in 1951, but the voltage was changed (from 800 V) into standard 3kV in 1973. The line served mostly as the transport route for shipyard workers who commuted to the Gdańsk Shipyard. On December 15, 2002 the line was shortened to reach only Gdańsk Brzeźno. On June 25, 2005 the line was completely closed for passenger service.
