Mönchengladbach-Rheindahlen is a train station in the Mönchengladbach district of Rheindahlen . It is located on the Iron Rhine , the railway line from Rheydt via Dalheim - Roermond - Neerpelt to Antwerp . Traffic on the German side currently ends in Dalheim. The station belongs to the lowest price class 7. It is managed by Deutsche Bahn under the internal station number 4165.

history

The first siding to connect the railway from Mönchengladbach to Antwerp was built in 1877. The freight railway line from Mönchengladbach to the state border near Dalheim was opened on December 4, 1878. The main goods accepted were grain, gasoline, coal, fertilizers and colonial goods. Flax, beer and leather were sent. The villages of Sittard , Gerkerath , Broich Dahlerbruch (today Broich) and Günhoven belonged to the catchment area of ​​the freight yard. On February 15, 1879, the first passenger train from Mönchengladbach in the direction of Dalheim on the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft line took place.

Expanded as a double-track line in 1909, after the end of the Second World War, the section of the Iron Rhine was largely used as a freight railway line for the construction of the joint headquarters in the north until 1952 . Then it was dismantled into a single-track line. Due to the low passenger traffic, the Deutsche Bundesbahn stopped selling tickets at the train station on June 1, 1978 and abolished the clearance rights for luggage and express goods traffic .

At the east end of the station there is a siding that used to lead to the Ayrshire Barracks North of the British Army of the Rhine in the North Park . Another siding at the east end ends north of Genhülsen in the Ayrshire Barracks South, which is in the south park.

Reception building

The station has a no longer used reception building from 1879 and a platform with a bus shelter and ticket machine. The reception building is a four-axle, two-storey brick house placed on the side with an attached goods shed. There was a wooden extension facing the house platform, which also served the dispatcher. This type of station was built several times in the second half of the 19th century by private railways and the Prussian state railways .

Signal box

There are also the dispatcher interlockings R f , which went into operation in 1935, at the western end of the station and the guard interlocking Ro .

Further stations in Rheindahlen

Another stop in Rheindahlen, also on the same railway line, is in the Genhausen district , which is the border between the VRR and AVV transport associations . In 1911 the stops in Günhoven and Genhausen were set up. The German Federal Railroad gave up the former after the Second World War. The German Federal Railroad found a single-track line to be sufficient, so from 1954 onwards it was considered to dismantle a track. The second track between Wegberg and Dalheim was dismantled by December 1958, the one between Rheydt and Wegberg by September 1964.
