Eilendorf station

The halt (Haltepunkt, technically a station without points) of Eilendorf is on the Cologne–Aachen high-speed line north of the centre of Eilendorf. The district of Nirm borders to the north. The Eilendorf Tunnel ends to the east of the station. The Eilendorf Bahnhof bus stop of Aachener Straßenbahn und Energieversorgungs-AG, the Aachen municipal bus company, lies to the west, about from the platforms. The station has two tracks, each of which is faced by a long side platform. There is a waiting room, a ticket machine and a one-line, digital passenger information system on every platform. Noise barriers are installed on the northern platform. The platforms are monitored by video. There are also lockable bicycle boxes behind both platforms. There is a slope next to the railway line. While the entrances, which are each in the middle of a platform, are at ground level, the line toward Aachen rises from Eilendorf station, but after the station it is below the surrounding ground. The tracks cannot be crossed at the station itself, so passengers must use a bridge to the west or an underpass to the east. The straight line to Eilendorf Tunnel and Nirm Tunnel can be seen from the eastern end of the platforms. == History==

The Rhenish Railway Company (Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft) opened the railway from Cologne to Aachen on 1 September 1841. A halt was opened at the time called Nirm, which was renamed Eilendorf in 1865. With the building of a siding to a neighbouring sawmill, Eilendorf halt was redesignated as a station. In the meantime, passenger services were discontinued at Eilendorf station, but they resumed in 1897. A new, larger entrance building was built by Deutsche Reichsbahn in about 1920. The platforms were increased from to to enable a level, barrier-free entry into the trains in 2018. The platforms, which were previously over long, were shortened to . == Current operations==
