3 unusual facts about Lindern station


Lindern station

Since the points where the line to Heinsberg now branches off the main line is now to the east of the station, it is considered under the German regulations for operating railways (Eisenbahn-Bau- und Betriebsordnung) as a Haltestelle (“halt”, because it has no set of points).

In addition, there were considerations that the Jülich–Dalheim railway operated by Rurtalbahn to Linnich would be extended as far as Lindern (as had already been planned at the beginning of the 19th century) to connect with the Heinsberg railway.

The AachenMönchengladbachDüsseldorf rail link is now important for commuters from the nearby area (Heinsberg/Linnich).
