The Willebadessen train station is a local transport stop on the Hamm – Warburg railway line ( route 430) near Willebadessen on the edge of the Egge Mountains . The historic building ensemble consists of a reception building, goods hall and auxiliary buildings such as a toilet facility and a former goat barn. It is entered in the list of architectural monuments in Willebadessen .

history

The construction of the original, now listed train station in the 1850s is related to the construction of the line between Prussia , to which Westphalia belonged at the time, and Kurhessen . A more direct route via Lichtenau was planned between Paderborn and Willebadessen . However, Prussia had awarded the concession to the private Cologne-Minden-Thuringian connection railway company. This proved to be overwhelmed with the crossing of the Egge Mountains and the construction of the tunnel planned at that time ( old railway ) and had to file for bankruptcy in 1848. The state-owned Royal Westphalian Railway Company took over the project, replaced the original route with an above-ground route via Altenbeken and opened the Paderborn – Warburg connection on July 22, 1853.

The station is on an important east-west connection. In December 1970, the electrification of the line was completed, but the station lost its importance and its use for passenger traffic was discontinued in 1993.

The station was reactivated on December 12, 2003 after ten years without train stops. From here, trains now run every 120 minutes to Warburg and Münster , the latter through the Eggetunnel, also opened in 2003 . The closest passenger train station to the northwest is Altenbeken station .

The European long-distance hiking trail E1 , which runs from Sweden to Italy , passes the Willebadessen train station.

Investments

The station has three tracks, with the outer platforms each having an outside platform; the tracks can only be crossed at the underpass of Bahnhofsstraße. The middle track has no platform. Tracks and facilities for freight traffic are removed. The tracks here are not starting from the station building, but counted from the other side of the station.

The signal box Wf is to the north of the station .
