Kaynarca station (Turkish: Kaynarca istasyonu) is a railway station in the Kaynarca neighborhood of Pendik, Istanbul. The station was originally built in 1967 by the Turkish State Railways in anticipation of electric commuter rail service from Haydarpaşa to Gebze.[1] The station was closed down 29 April 2012 and demolished shortly after.[2] A new station was built in its place in 2014 as part of the rehabilitation of the railway for the Marmaray commuter rail system. The station was reopened on 12 March 2019.[3]
