The Großer Buseck train station is a train station in the Central Hessian community of Buseck . The category 6 station is on the Vogelsbergbahn (railway line Gießen – Fulda).
history
The Gießen - Grünberg section was put into operation on December 2, 1869 by the Grand Ducal Hessian State Railways .
In an air raid on the train station in Großen-Buseck on March 18, 1945, a construction train carrying forced laborers was hit. Four men from the construction train were killed. One of the forced laborers was hanged from a burned-out car for alleged theft. A memorial stone in front of the station building commemorates this incident.
Railway systems
Reception building
The station building was built in 1869 as a 4- axis structure on the north side of the track system. In 1912 a 2 1 ⁄ 2- story, L-shaped extension was added to the east . While the original structure has classicist forms, the annex, which was built in a historicizing manner, is dominated by large round windows and a partially half- timbered facade on the upper floors. The building is therefore also assigned to the Heimatstil , for historical and urban planning reasons it is now a cultural monument due to the Hessian Monument Protection Act .
Tracks and platforms
In its largest expansion phase, the Große Buseck station had 5 parallel tracks between the goods shed and the southern border of the station. From the 228-meter-long house platform on track 1, level crossings led to the intermediate platform on track 2. This was 245 meters long. With track 3 there was also a platform-free track for train overtaking. The maximum length for overtaking opportunities in the direction of Gießen is given as 568 meters, while in the opposite direction only train lengths of 520 meters were possible.
Today only the two platform tracks 1 and 2 are required for train traffic on the Vogelsbergbahn.
Freight transport facilities
An open loading street was on track 4, which branched off from track 3 in the western end of the station, but already converged with the reception building at the level of the reception building. Rail customers reached this via an access road that branches off at the level crossing with Mollbornsweg. Track 5 was located between track 1 and the goods shed on the north side of the railway facilities about 80 meters west of the reception building , which was in the 31 meter long section 5a in front of the goods shed (with a head ramp on its eastern side) and the 60 meter long section 5b, where there was another loading street, was divided.
After the cessation of goods traffic and the last timber loading operation at the Großer Buseck station, all these systems were dispensable and dismantled or dismantled.
About 1.5 km southeast of the train station there is an alternate junction with an industrial trunk line into the industrial area of Großen-Buseck. Freight trains still run here from time to time .
Signal boxes
A signal box is drawn in the front of the older part of the reception building on all plans of the Großer Buseck station that have been accessible so far . It has not yet been possible to determine when the signal box with the designation Gf (Große Buseck Fahrdienstleiter ) was put into operation as a mechanical signal box. In 1960 he operated 5 points, 2 track barriers and 8 main form signals. The entry signals had pre-signals. In 1975 an electromechanical signal box was put into operation in its place. With the expansion of the Vogelsbergbahn at the beginning of the 21st century, exit signals were also installed.
The signal box is manned by a dispatcher who also operates the security systems of level crossings and blocks access to platform 2 for travelers depending on the traffic situation, as access to this day is only possible by crossing platform 1. Two points and six signals are sufficient for today's train traffic.
traffic
The Große Buseck train station is in the tariff area of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV).
Rail transport
The regional trains of the Hessische Landesbahn GmbH (HLB) , which run on the Vogelsbergbahn , stop in Buseck . The trains stop every hour, which is shortened to 30 minutes on weekdays during rush hour .
Since the 2016/2017 timetable change on December 11, 2016, the trains of the Vogelsbergbahn and the subsequent Lahntalbahn have been running continuously as RB 45 instead of the previous RB 25 (Lahntalbahn) or RB 35 (Vogelsbergbahn).
