The station is located in the industrial area and residential area Bahnstation Gamburg on the outskirts of Gamburg , a district of the Werbach community in the Main-Tauber district in Baden-Württemberg . In the course book and the timetable of the Deutsche Bahn , the station will be named Gamburg (Tauber) out.
location
The station extends from entry signal 13 A at km 18.452 to entry signal 13 F at km 19.727, its altitude is 168.6 meters above sea level.
In the direction of Wertheim, after the exit signals 13 N 1 and 13 N 2 , the Gamburger Tunnel immediately follows from kilometers 19.263 to 19.464.
In the direction of Tauberbischofsheim, after the switch 1, the railway bridge comes from kilometers 18.834 to 18.893 with three openings over state road 506 and the Tauber .
The continuous main track 1 has a usable length of 221 meters, the track 2 has a usable length of 200 meters, the platform length is 115 meters. Both platforms are 55 cm above the top of the rails . The siding is 120 meters long and leads unrestricted across Höhefelder Weg into the Hofmann factory hall. The exit signal 13 P1 is in front of the former station building at kilometer 18.995.
The platforms are equipped with handicapped-accessible entrances and exits, loudspeakers and dynamic text displays . The ticket machine and the platforms can also be reached via a staircase next to the former reception building .
business
Until 2011, the station was a train registration office with a dispatcher and route block . It has been vacant since then and is remote-controlled from the central signal box at Miltenberg's main train station , but can also be operated on site if required. This is electronically controlled signaled train control with (line) rail radio.
The station is still a train crossing station with a siding up to the factory hall of the industrial company. A special feature in operation and construction is the tunnel located within the station and the points located there. As a result, the station always has a snow and ice-free turnout in winter.
traffic
The station is served by regional and regional express trains and is located in the area of the Rhein-Neckar transport association . The siding is operated as required, but is currently closed.
history
Two years before the construction of the reception building and the embankment, they began to ram oak logs into the swampy terrain. In the spring of 1867 the foundation was laid and the station building was erected in the following autumn. The other buildings followed in the course of the year.
The railway station as such was a “full station” for goods and passenger traffic with three tracks from the start. It included a shed for the baggage carts with an attached public toilet. A goods hall, a loading ramp, the open loading track with a weighbridge up to 40 tons load capacity, a lifting crane with two tons load capacity, as well as the loading gauge . A water station with a water house and two water cranes was also connected. This was used for steam locomotives until 1960. Furthermore, there was a railroad board with office, workshop and lounge for the company, and the "garage" for the Kl small cars of the train master it. This railway maintenance office was in place until 1939. The houses of the railway and tunnel keepers at the time still stand in front of the tunnel portals. Today they are privately owned and inhabited. Until 1920 the post office of the village was also housed in the reception building. In the last years of the Second World War, material from the Saarbrücken repair shop was stored in the tunnel.
In 1965 general cargo handling was stopped. When wagon handling was stopped in 1993, loading track 3 was closed after the eastern switch connection had already been expanded in 1967. In 1967 the station was given a siding, which branched off from track 2 and led over the communal connection path to the Hofmann Natursteinwerk company. In the course of this construction project, the signal F and the pre-signals Vf and Va received electric servomotors and their wire pull cables were dismantled. At the same time, all signals were switched from propane gas to electric lighting. Until 1965, the permanent staff consisted of a board member and two supervisors. Work started at 4:00 a.m. and finished at 9:30 p.m. After that, the station was only manned by a dispatcher and the necessary representative or replacement. After the cessation of ticket sales, the occupation times were further restricted and the station was switched off or through during the low-traffic period. For this purpose, the block mechanism and lever bank were expanded and a locking mechanism installed. The line telephone connection was also switched through. In addition, an external intercom box (F-box) for the train crew was installed in front of the building.
In 2011, extensive renovation and modernization measures began. For example, the Bruchsal Jüdel mechanical standard lever interlocking system in the reception building was taken out of service and the form signals were exchanged for light signals. The exit signal P 1 in the direction of Tauberbischofsheim was repositioned at the end of the new platform 1. The exit signal P 2, which was originally to the left of track 2, was no longer replaced. A signal-based exit from platform 2 in the direction of Tauberbischofsheim is no longer possible. The siding to the Hofmann-Natursteine company was refurbished again and the superstructure was adjusted in height. The manual switch and the track barrier were given locks, the keys of which are electronically secured in a new switch box.
The passenger crossing to the platform on track 2, which was at the height of the dispatcher with a manual sliding barrier between the tracks, was removed. With security technology system RESI with automatic barrier trees and traffic lights with acoustic warning sound, it was relocated further east in the direction of the railway bridge, in front of switch 1. The platform in front of the former station building and its extension towards the bridge were demolished, and two shelters furnished with a timetable , waste basket and bank were set up. The former station building is now separated from the railway facilities by a fence. Later train destination / departure indicators with loudspeakers were set up on both platforms.
The former reception building is now a listed building, in 2017 the first floor of the free-standing sandstone building was renovated and is rented out as a holiday apartment. In 2018, the large former waiting room was also renovated and is now available as an event hall.
administration
The Grand Ducal Baden State Railways (BadStB) built the station and operated it until April 1, 1920, when it was assigned to the Karlsruhe Directorate of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, before the Stuttgart Directorate was finally responsible from the beginning of 1946. After the rail reform, he was assigned to the Heilbronn network branch on December 1, 1994. Their Lauda operating district thus became the superior position for Gamburg. As of January 1, 1997, there was another organizational change and the station came to the Würzburg network branch with the Würzburg operating district of the same name. Soon after, the regional networks were founded and Gamburg came to DB Regio Spessart-Untermain, based in Aschaffenburg.
Another reorganization brought about the establishment of DB RegioNetz AG, with which Gamburg was handed over to the Westfrankenbahn .
Ownership structure of the reception building
In 2001 the Gamburger reception building was transferred from Deutsche Bahn to the Frankfurt fund company First Rail Property , with the associated management holding company First Rail Estate . Deutsche Bahn and its signal box remained in the building as a tenant.
Four years later, the British financial investor Patron Capital Partners took over the building. Their German subsidiary Main Asset Management GmbH in Dreieich became the manager of the building. The new owner undertook to invest in renovations within five years when purchasing the property.
In September 2010, 52 train stations, including the Gamburger building, were auctioned on their behalf. The reception building then went into changing private ownership and is now marketed as a holiday home under Gamburg station .
