The station Goldshöfe is a württembergischer station at the junction of railway lines Goldshöfe- Crailsheim ( Upper Jagst Railway ) and Aalen - Donauwörth ( Ries Railway ). In addition to this function as a separation station, it serves to connect the municipality of Hüttlingen, two kilometers away, and the Buch district of the municipality of Rainau . The station takes its name from the nearby Goldshöfe homestead , which is now part of the Aalen district of Hofen . The part of the station with signal box 1, reception building and the former goods shed to the south of the level crossing is also in the Aalen area, the level crossing and signal box 2 are in the Rainaus area.

The station is used by fewer than a thousand travelers a day.

history

The station was put into operation on October 3, 1863 with the line to Nördlingen as part of what was then the Remsbahn . Since the connection to Crailsheim was already being planned at that time, the station was designed as a separation station from the start. The line to Crailsheim (Obere Jagstbahn) went into operation in 1866; In the following, this was also to become the more important of the two routes, since part of the long-distance traffic between Stuttgart and Nuremberg ran on it. Nevertheless, the Nördlinger line was electrified in 1972. This was done with a view to the Olympic Games in Munich , because this route should be available as a diversion route between Stuttgart and Munich. The Crailsheim route followed in 1985.

Infrastructure

Signpost to the "Rems" and "Jagst" tracks

The privately owned reception building with a T-floor plan corresponds to the construction method used in Württemberg at the time and is located between the two routes that separate in front of the building. Each route has two platform tracks. In the further course the lines to Crailsheim and Nördlingen are each single track, while the line to Aalen has two tracks. The tracks on both lines are numbered 1 and 2; to distinguish them, they have the suffix “Jagst” or “Rems” (after the Remsbahn, the old name of this section of the Riesbahn). In the timetable, the additions to "J" and "R" are abbreviated. The platforms are low (38 cm above the top of the rails or less) and cannot be reached through underpasses, but rather through plank crossings. The track "Rems 1" is closed today.

The track connection from the station section "Rems" to the Upper Jagstbahn, which was built at the time to be able to drive from the local freight facility on the Nördlinger line directly to Crailsheim, was in operation until 1985. When the island station was shut down, it became a wedge station.

There is still a goods shed on the high-rise buildings, but it has since lost its function.

Most of the main tracks in the station area run in curves, with minimal radii of around 470 m (Riesbahn) and 610 m (Obere Jagstbahn).

outlook

For the future, Deutsche Bahn is planning a redesign of the station, in which the level crossings of the two lines, which are located northeast of the building, are to be replaced by a single level crossing by means of track swiveling. The two mechanical interlockings at the station heads and put into operation in 1938, including the associated command interlocking from 1955 located in the reception building , are also to be replaced by an electronic interlocking (ESTW). The level crossing and signal box measures are each the subject of a plan approval procedure .

A plan approval application for the interlocking measure was submitted in October 2016. It is planned to replace the command signal box and the two guard signal boxes with a locally operated electronic interlocking center, which is to be erected as a one-story building south of the reception building. As part of this measure, track plan optimization is also planned: The speed in the westernmost station track (Crailsheim – Goldshöfe, today 2J, in the future 1) is to be increased from 90 to 100 km / h and will therefore correspond in future to the speed permitted on the track towards Crailsheim. The speed on the Riesbahn track (2R today, 4 in the future) is to be increased from 60 to 80 km / h or from 80 to 100 km / h.

Among other things, it is planned to expand the north-eastern turnout of the station ( track 3 , which will be abandoned in the future ) and to raise the cant in the remaining track of the Riesbahn from 100 to 125 mm. In future, the tracks will be numbered from 1 to 5 from west to east.

The plan applied for on June 11, 2018 for the removal of the three level crossings in the station area was approved on August 19, 2019. The three crossings are to be replaced by a 77 m long, four-span road bridge, which is to run about 50 m north of the reception building. The Staudenfeld level crossing to the south of the train station, previously a call barrier , is to be converted as part of the ESTW measure and included in the new security technology. The costs of around 9 million euros are borne by the district and several municipalities (as of 2015).

The station is also part of a station modernization program presented at the end of 2019, as part of which train stations in Baden-Württemberg are to be modernized and made barrier-free between 2020 and 2029. The program is financed by Deutsche Bahn, the state and local authorities.

Operational importance

Signal box 2 (east)

The station is  assigned to price class 6. It derives its operational importance mainly from its function as a separation station. The nearby Aalen train station is used for turning, parking and maintaining trains .

Regional trains on the line to Donauwörth and regional express trains on the line towards Crailsheim stop in Goldshöfe , with the regular timetable being geared towards inexpensive transfer options across the corner. The intercity trains between Karlsruhe and Nuremberg go through without stopping.
