The lindern station is a railway station in Geilenkirchener district alleviate . He is the separation station of the railway line Alleviate-Heinsberg (Rheinl) from the Aachen-Mönchengladbach railway . The station is classified in station category 4.
history
The station in Lindern, including the station building, was completed in 1852 and in the same year passenger and goods handling on the new Aachen-Düsseldorf-Ruhrorter railway began. Ticket issuance was closed in 1989; In 2013 the station building will be used by a restaurant and a kiosk, and tickets can be purchased from a machine on the platform.
The mechanical interlockings Lf (type 43, built in 1950 at the station head towards Aachen) and Lo (type Jüdel, built in 1930 at the station head towards Mönchengladbach), located on the south side of the tracks, have been in operation since the second construction stage of the ESTW Grevenbroich was completed on November 6, 2007 out of operation, instead there is an area computer (ESTW-A) in a newly constructed technical building on the opposite side of the station on Thomashofstraße. The points and signals to the station alleviating be the operations control center of Duisburg remotely from.
With the commissioning of the ESTW, the turnout connections at the southern end of the station were cut and the form signals that were still present up to that point were replaced by Ks signals except for a permanent Hp 0 signal on track 3 in the direction of Heinsberg . The station thus became a stop within the meaning of the railway building and operating regulations (a stopping point that is locally connected to a junction ). Trains from Mönchengladbach in the direction of Heinsberg changed in front of the platform at the junction to the line to Heinsberg, which initially passes the platform parallel to the main line and then leaves the shared route behind .
The Aachener Verkehrsverbund and WestEnergie und Verkehr GmbH, the owners of the railway line from Lindern to Heinsberg, worked on resuming local passenger transport on the line as part of their local transport concept. The first plans provided for an operation by the Euregiobahn , but later it was decided to wing the Rhein-Niers-Bahn from Aachen in Lindern, which required electrification of the route because of the vehicles used on the line .
The station was rebuilt again to resume local rail passenger transport on the Lindern – Heinsberg line. New points have been installed in the west end, which enable trains to and from Aachen to use platform 3. On this track, train cover signals for the wing of the Rhein-Niers-Bahn were also set up, the remaining shape signal showing permanently Hp 0 was replaced by a fully functional Ks signal and the overhead line was rebuilt in the course of the electrification of the line to Heinsberg. In addition, new entry and exit signals were set up on the main line at the Westkopf to cover the points. With the completion of the renovation work, Lindern has been a railway station again since November 10, 2013.

future
There were considerations to extend the Jülich – Linnich railway line operated by the Rurtalbahn GmbH via Linnich to Lindern (as was already planned at the beginning of the 19th century) in order to get a connection to the Heinsberger Bahn. However, due to the cost of a new Rur bridge, this consideration has not yet become part of the planning.
