The Pluwig station was a train station in the local community of Pluwig in Rhineland-Palatinate .
history
The station was opened in 1889 with the construction of the Ruwertalbahn .
When the Ruwertalbahn was switched to train control between 1963 and 1965, the station staff was withdrawn. Until then, the dispatcher had also sold tickets. Due to the conversion, the station was dismantled from 1962.
When passenger traffic to Hermeskeil ceased in 1981, Pluwig station became the terminus. Only about three years later the passenger traffic in Pluwig ended, now the Waldrach train station became the terminus. Until 1989 there was regular freight traffic to Pluwig. In 1998 the line was finally closed.
Today the Ruwer-Hochwald-Radweg runs on the old railway line of the Ruwertalbahn past the train station.
In addition to the access road from the direction of Pluwig, the road leading from Schöndorf into the Ruwertal bears the name Bahnhofstraße to this day (2017) .
Railway station and station area
The station building is located in the Ruwertal outside the village in the Pluwigerhammer district . It was created as a typical type of construction for the railway line in a solid design made of red sandstone blocks and with offset, plastered knee floors and roof overhang on all sides. Identical station buildings exist in Kell am See and Zerf . The station building is a listed building.
The signal box in the station was shut down in the 1960s. The level crossing in the direction of Hinzenburg , previously operated by the signal box, was equipped with a flashing light system and controlled automatically.
In the 1980s, all but one track were removed. This track disappeared with the construction of the Ruwer-Hochwald-Radweg.
There was originally a water crane and a loading crane with loading line at Pluwig station , which were dismantled in the 1970s. The loading crane was used for local agriculture and industry. Freight traffic for the local iron smelter was only carried out in the early days , as its heyday was already over at the end of the 19th century.
Today there is an office of the coach company Erzig-Reisen GmbH in the train station.
