The station Engen is a four-track station on the Black Forest Railway and both regional express trains of Deutsche Bahn and from Seehas trains of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB short) served. It was assigned to station category 4.
location
The train station is located several hundred meters north of the city center of Engen , a town with ten thousand inhabitants in the south of Baden-Württemberg.
History and future
The station was opened at the same time as the opening of the first section of the Black Forest Railway between Singen and Engen. The railway line was planned as a feeder line to the Gotthard Railway to allow cross-border rail traffic from the Black Forest to Switzerland. Due to the difficult geological conditions in the Black Forest, the Grand Ducal Baden State Railways decided to first implement the sections Offenburg - Hausach and Engen - Singen (Hohentwiel). Construction began in April 1865 and was completed a year later. November 1921, the railway line was completely expanded to two tracks and electrified in 1977.
The Hegaubahn , planned in the first half of the 20th century, would have been threaded south of the station towards Schaffhausen .
An expansion of the train station was planned as part of the (largely unrealized) Hegaubahn project.
Since the 2017/2018 timetable change, the InterCity service Stuttgart - Zurich , which had previously passed without stopping, should also stop in Engen every two hours. An hourly stop in Engen was also checked as part of the Interim Plus. The DB Fernverkehr rejected the concept because they feared a slowdown in long-distance traffic by about two minutes, however, due to the elimination of the two-hourly balance in Gäufelden could be compensated. If these plans are to be implemented, the station will have to be converted in order to be able to access the train without barriers.
Investments
Station forecourt and reception building
Immediately in front of the train station there is a Park & Ride car park , bicycle parking spaces and the Engen train station bus stop . There is a train station restaurant in the reception building. Rental apartments are provided on the upper floor.
Platforms
The station has a central platform and a house platform. Platform tracks 2 and 3 are located on the central platform, and track 1 on the main platform. Parallel to track 3, there is another track without a platform. The trains cannot be reached barrier-free from all platforms due to the great height difference between the train and the platform edge.

|---|---|---|
| Track 1 | 38 cm | 190 m |
| Track 2 | 38 cm | 294 m |
| Track 3 | 38 cm | 294 m |
Rail transport
Platform 1 is usually used by the Seehas trains in the direction of Constance. Track 2 serves the regional express trains in the direction of Stuttgart / Karlsruhe and track 3 in the direction of Singen / Konstanz.
