Pärnu's narrow-gauge station on the rampart
In 1896 the narrow-gauge line from Valga reached Pärnu, and the town gave land on its old rampart for a station right in the centre. The station building was designed by engineer Kaspar Krzizanowski, with a canopy along the tracks. From 1928 a new line through Lelle gave Pärnu a direct link to Tallinn. In 1944 the station building was destroyed in a Soviet bombing raid. The former home of mayor Oskar Brackmann nearby then served as the station, and later as the bus station. The last narrow-gauge train left for Tallinn on 6 April 1971. Since 2006 a 1911 steam locomotive and a 1913 wagon stand where the station was, behind the Port Artur centre.

1896. aastal jõudis Pärnusse Valgast tulev kitsarööpmeline raudtee ja linn loovutas jaama jaoks platsi kesklinnas kunagisel kindlusevallil. Jaamahoone projekteeris insener Kaspar Krzizanowski ning selle rööbastepoolse fassaadi ees oli varikatus. Alates 1928. aastast sai Pärnu Lelle kaudu otseühenduse Tallinnaga. 1944. aastal hävis jaamahoone Nõukogude lennuväe pommirünnakus. Seejärel kasutati jaamana lähedal asunud endise linnapea Oskar Brackmanni elumaja, kus hiljem oli bussijaam. Viimane kitsarööpmeline rong väljus pealinna 6. aprillil 1971. Alates 2006. aastast seisavad endise jaama kohal Port Arturi taga 1911. aasta auruvedur ja 1913. aasta platvormvagun.
