The Eschweiler-Weisweiler station is a station in the Weisweiler district of the city of Eschweiler in the Aachen city region , which is served by the Euregiobahn . The former station building was not far from today's platform.
history
The station was opened on October 1, 1873 on the Mönchengladbach – Stolberg line of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft as Weisweiler station. For a long time the Weisweiler train station was important for local industry. A siding for the Weisweiler electrical works and the briquette factory branched off behind the train station. There were also siding for the lignite mine "Union Weisweiler" and the lignite industry AG (BIAG). The freight traffic is stopped today except for the lime flour freight trains to the Weisweiler power station. The transfer takes place by diesel locomotives of the Düren district railway via the transfer station Frenz. Every now and then these transports are also taken over by locomotives of the Neusser-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft. In the 1980s, goods traffic to the Weisweiler briquette factory and the Weisweiler electrical works were discontinued; In addition, the dispatcher interlocking Wf was demolished at the end of the 1980s. On January 1, 1992, Busverkehr Rheinland GmbH took over rail bus transport.
Like all other stations on the Talbahn route, the station was closed for passenger traffic on May 22, 1983 after 110 years of operation. Most of the track systems in the station have been removed except for the main track. Likewise, at the end of the eighties, the dispatcher interlocking was demolished.
reactivation
Two years later became the station Weisweiler to stop dismantled and on 11 September 2004 as Euregiobahn -Stop -Weis Eschweiler by EVS Euregio transport rail network reactivated. In mid-2005, the station building was demolished because of the newly built federal highway 264 as a bypass . On June 14th, 2009 the new Eschweiler-Weisweiler-Langerwehe railway was put into operation. As part of the construction work, the stopping point became a train station again in 2007, as a possibility for a train crossing was created by a second track.
