Bochum-Dahlhausen station

The station building features three operational tracks, two platforms, and an architectural design reflecting early 20th-century German railway construction standards.

The Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company established the original station in 1863, while the current building was constructed during World War I using prisoner labor.

The station maintains its 1920s interior design elements and serves as a gateway to Germany's largest railway museum, displaying over 200 historical locomotives.

Track 3 accommodates museum services while the other tracks connect to the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn network, linking Hattingen Mitte with Oberhausen Central Station.

The station forms part of the last complete steam locomotive depot in Germany, with its original turntable and water facilities still intact.
