  Chongqing North railway station is a railway station located in Yubei District, Chongqing, China. It is served by the Yuhuai Railway, Suining–Chongqing Railway and Yuli Railway, and operated by the China Railway Chengdu Group.
  
  ## Name
  
  Prior to the construction of this station at its present site, Shapingba railway station was known as Chongqing North railway station. It was subsequently renamed to avoid confusion and to better reflect the geographic nature of both stations.
  
  ## Structure
  
  This station consists of two separate departure halls; the eastern hall is for long-distance services and the western hall is for high-speed CRH trains. Arrivals are through a common underground hall.
  
  Service at this station is separated into North and South Courses. The South Course handles long-distance trains to many parts of China. The North Course is currently being expanded and will handle mostly high-speed intercity services.
