History
The train station in alleviating including the station building was completed in 1852, and the people and added to the new Aachen- Dusseldorf - Ruhrorter railroad freight office in the same year. The ticket office is closed, 1989; today (2013 ) the station building is used by a restaurant and a kiosk, tickets can be purchased at a vending machine on the track.
The respectively located on the south side of the tracks 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 ) have passed since the completion of the second construction phase of the electronic interlocking Grevenbroich on November 6, 2007 out of service, instead there is a range of hosts ( CBI -A) in a newly constructed building technique on the opposite side of the railway station at the Thomas Hofstraße. The points and signals of the station Alleviate be remotely controlled by the operations center of Duisburg.
With the commissioning of electronic interlocking the crossovers have been cut at the southern end of the station and the then still existing semaphore signals replaced up to lasting Hp 0 pointing signal to track 3 direction Heinberg by Ks- signals. The station was thus to a stop ( a breakpoint, which is connected locally with a branch point ). Trains from Mönchengladbach towards Heinberg changed before the platform at the tap point on the route to Heinberg, the first parallel to the main line passes through the platform and leaves behind the common route.
The Aachen Transport Association and the Western Energy and Transport GmbH worked as part of its Nahverkehreskonzeptes to a resumption of passenger transport on the route as the route owner of the railway line from relieving after Heinberg. The first plans envisaged a service by the Euregiobahn, later it was decided, however, for an outflanking the Rhine- Nier train from Aachen in alleviating, which required the electrification of the line for the vehicles used on the line.
For the resumption of railway passenger services on the route - relieving Heinberg, the station was rebuilt again. In the western head new course was built, which allow trains to and from Aachen driving on track 3. On this track also protection signals the remaining permanently Hp 0 -facing form signal were set up for the outflanking of the Rhine- Nier -Bahn, replaced by a fully functional Ks signal and set up the overhead line as part of the electrification of the line according to Heinberg again. In addition to the main line on the western head new input and exit signals have been established to cover the course. With the completion of the renovation work has been relieving November 10, 2013 a train station.
