Taphan Hin railway station is a railway station located in Taphan Hin Subdistrict, Taphan Hin District, Phichit. It is located 319.006 km from Bangkok railway station and is a class 1 railway station. It is on the Northern Line of the State Railway of Thailand. The station opened on 24 January 1908 as part of the Northern Line extension from Pak Nam Pho to Phitsanulok. All trains used to stop here as Taphan Hin was once the largest city in Phichit, but now Phichit City has surpassed it in terms of development. The fact that every train had to make a stop here, not only to take on wood for the steam locomotives and water, but also because near the station there was a highway crossing the Phetchabun Mountains, further added to its importance. This road was built during World War II, in the era of Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram as Prime Minister, in preparation for relocating the capital from Bangkok to Phetchabun. Today, it is known as Highway 113, which now sees very little traffic because alternative routes to Phetchabun are more convenient.
