🇫🇷 Après 11 ans de travaux, le premier train arriva à la Gare d'Antsirabe le 15 Octobre 1923. On assiste alors à la naissance de la ligne T.A (Tananarive-Antsirabe). La ligne TA, est une ligne de chemin de fer reliant, comme son nom l'indique, la capitale de Madagascar, Antananarivo à la ville d'Antsirabe. La gare est le point kilométrique 0 de la ville. Elle est connectée à la gare de Soanierana Antananarivo par une voie ferrée de 158 km.
L'architecture coloniale de la Gare d'Antsirabe imite les palais italiens un peu mêlé à des éléments des emprunts orientalistes. Elle est similaire à celle de l'hôtel des Thermes. Sa pendule a été fabriquée par un horloger parisien.
