The Bajzë Rail Station (Albanian: Stacioni Hekurudhor i Bajzë) is a railway station located in Bajzë, Albania. It is operated by Hekurudha Shqiptare (Albanian Railways) and part of Montenegrin-Albanian cross-border freight line between Podgorica, capital of Montengero, and Shkodër, Albania. Two freight trains pass daily through the station, hauling over 10,000 tonnes of commodities monthly. Long term plans exist to establish and operate international passenger trains between Albania and Montenegro via Bajzë. The vast majority of Albanian entrepreneurs import their goods through the railway line from all over Europe, as transport through train is about 50% cheaper than road transport. Cleaning of toxic chemicals, which had been dumped during 1991-1992, finished in 2009.
