history
past and present
The opening of goods traffic on the railway line from Mönchengladbach to the Dutch-German border near Dalheim took place on December 4, 1878. On February 15, 1879, the first passenger train from Mönchengladbach in the direction of Dalheim took place. The Wegberg station, built in 1878 at 12.8 kilometers of the route , was put into operation in 1879. He has a reception building, which was entered in 2003 as number 170 in the list of Wegberger architectural monuments. Today the former station building that was sold is used as a restaurant.
There is a ticket machine and a bus shelter for travelers on the only platform still in existence today. In addition to the continuous main track, there is another butt track . The remains of a central platform can be seen rudimentary between the two tracks. The track systems have been dismantled in the last few decades. Four of the five other station tracks and sidings for companies have been completely or partially removed.
Signal boxes
The two mechanical interlocking signalman interlocking Where in the industrial road, and the dispatchers interlocking Wf at the railroad crossing Bahnhofstrasse submitted by 1908. The interlocking Where replacing an older interlocking of 1887. The buildings are designed the same, there are two storey rectangular structures, wherein on the side of the track, the corners are beveled. The basement is made of solid clinker brick, the upper floor is made of half-timbered brickwork. At the signal box Wo , the half-timbered structure has now been replaced by massive clinker walls. On the upper floor there are windows on the corners, whereby the sloping walls allow a good view of the route. Both mechanical interlockings come from the manufacturer Scheidt & Bachmann .
Planning
In 2011, the city of Wegberg planned to beautify the area around the station. The area around Wegberg train station should be made more attractive because Deutsche Bahn sees no reason for the improvements, the city of Wegberg submitted an application. The country would cover 85 percent of the cost of the redesign. However, since the station building itself and the forecourt are in private hands, there is no way for the city to exert any influence there. The city put the costs in variant 1 (only forecourt) at 375,000 euros, of which the city would have to pay 92,952 euros. For variant 2 (forecourt and railway area) costs of 623 180 euros were named. Of this, the city would have to take over 149 864 euros. Among other things, a barrier-free and partly covered platform was planned. 24 parking spaces and three disabled parking spaces were to be created on the green space between Bahnhofstrasse and the station building. A new taxi stand and a parking facility for bicycles were also planned. More safety should also be ensured, appropriate structural measures should prevent the tracks from being crossed by the Jakob-Hoogen-Straße opposite.
Industrial track systems
At the block point in Wegberg-Klinkum, the five-kilometer-long connecting line to the Wegberg-Wildenrath test center branches off , which was previously used to operate the RAF Wildenrath military airfield . It is operated by the railway infrastructure company West Gleis GmbH.
From 1949 to the 1980s there was another siding to the Arsbeck tank farm and the RAF Brüggen .
passenger traffic
history
In May 1914 Wegberg was served by nine or eleven trains in each direction with the destinations Roermond and Munich Gladbach, today's Mönchengladbach . Express trains and a daily pair of express trains from / to Antwerp did not stop in Wegberg. During the Second World War in the timetable year 1944/45, three pairs of trains ran on the route in the morning, two at lunchtime and three in the evening. Another pair of trains that did not stop at all stations and stopped in Wegberg ran on weekdays in the morning to Mönchengladbach and back in the evening. All trains started in Mönchengladbach, on weekdays two continued to Roermond, all others ended in Dalheim . In the era of the Deutsche Bundesbahn , there were nine pairs of trains running Monday to Friday, four / five on Saturdays and no pairs of trains on Sundays. All trains went Mönchengladbach – Dalheim and all stopped in Wegberg. This travel offer did not change until 1991/92, when nine to ten pairs of trains also ran on weekdays. After the introduction of the integral cycle timetable in 1998, the regional train line called the RB 39 ( Schwalm-Nette-Bahn ) ran every hour from Monday to Friday during peak times in the morning and evening, and every two hours on the rest of the day and Saturday. Sunday operations (like every two hours on Saturdays) were introduced at the 2003 timetable change. The line has been known as the RB 34 since December 2015 and runs every hour from Monday to Friday.
