History
The construction of a rail connection through the nearby town of Gniew was initially rejected when first proposed in the nineteenth century, due to the town's maritime transport connections along the Vistula.[1] Following the construction of the Prussian Eastern Railway residents of Gniew campaigned to have the town connected by branchline to Morzeszczyn, the resultant railway ran through Brody Pomorskie.[2] The station, and surrounding residential buildings, opened in 1905.[3] The station building at Brody Pomorskie was built to the same design specifications as its twin station further along the line at Brodzkie Młyny.[4] Due to national border changes the station had various name changes in the twentieth-century including Deutsch Brodden (German Empire), Brody Niemieckie (Second Polish Republic), and Deutsch-Brodden (Nazi Germany).[5]
Closure
The last passenger service ran through Brody Pomorskie station on 10 July 1989.[6] By 2007 the tracks had been demolished and the station buildings repurposed.[7] In 2010 a proposal was put forward by the local council of Gniew to take ownership of the defunct station at Brody Pomorskie in order for the railway line to be turned into a tourist cycle route.[8]
