Ulm-Söflingen
The Ulm-Söflingen ( Lage ) station is a double-track station on the Ulm – Sigmaringen railway line in the northwest of the Ulm marshalling yard . It is located on the border of the Ulm districts Eselsberg in the north and Söflingen in the south west of the city center of Ulm. The station building is on In der Wanne, which runs north of the railway line.
The first Söflinger station was opened on August 2, 1868, together with the first section from Ulm to Blaubeuren on the line to Sigmaringen. The station building of the station, which was equipped with two platform tracks from the start, was located in the south of the railway line in the then still independent municipality of Söflingen. With the construction of the Ulm marshalling yard, the Sigmaringer line and thus also the Söflingen station had to be relocated to the north in order to create space for the shunting tracks. On April 28, 1907, the new Söflingen station was opened, the station building of which was now north of the tracks. While the old station was still used for freight traffic, the new station was now used for passenger traffic and the handling of luggage, express and express goods. The two stations were connected by a level crossing, which was replaced by a pedestrian underpass in May 1907. As early as 1906, a road bridge crossing the Sigmaringer line and the marshalling yard was built to connect the Ulm districts Eselsberg and Söflingen. It was 39 meters long and six meters wide and was named Lupferbrücke. On March 19, 1912, the double-track expansion of the Sigmaringer line between Ulm and Söflingen was completed, and from 1937 to 1939 the Söflingen– Herrlingen section was also double-tracked. In 1977 the building of the old Söflingen train station was demolished.
The reception building is a symmetrical three-storey building with a mansard roof and a crooked hips , on which two side houses with tail gables are placed. In the west and east there are extensions with a hipped roof , which are also equipped with side houses. In the eastern extension there was a mechanical interlocking of the type Siemens & Halske 1901, which was put into operation in 1910. On November 8, 2013 the interlocking was shut down and on November 11, 2013, a new electronic interlocking (ESTW) of the type Thales L 90 in was to the east of the reception building Commissioned, from which the Söflingen station and the marshalling yard are controlled. The waiting room in the station building is now closed due to vandalism and has not been occupied since the ESTW opened.
Until 2013, there was a house platform and an intermediate platform at the station . The main platform with platform 1 was 198 m long and 38 cm high, the intermediate platform with platform 2, which was only accessible by crossing platform 1, was 212 m long and 24 cm high. In autumn 2013, the station was rebuilt as part of the establishment of the Ulm-Söflingen ESTW and the previous platforms were replaced by two 115 m long and 55 cm high platforms. The side platform on track 2 is connected to the house platform via a newly built underpass . The station belongs to station category 6.
