Dortmund-Barop station is on Barop Marktplatz in the Hombruch district of the city of Dortmund in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia on the Elberfeld–Dortmund line.

Freight operations started at Barop with the opening of the main line of the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company in December 1848.

The Clausthal shaft of the Vereinigte Louise Tiefbau colliery was connected by a ropeway conveyor to the train station in 1865.

[7] Finally, in 1895 a track was built to the Kaiser Friedrich colliery in Menglinghauser, connecting to Barop station.

[2] The code for the operating point is EDBA (E = former railway division of Essen, D = Dortmund, BA = Barop).

This means that only one train an hour continues through Witten Hauptbahnhof as line S 8 to and from Hagen, Wuppertal, Düsseldorf and Mönchengladbach.

[9] Also bus route 448 from Witten-Rüdinghausen to Dortmund-Löttringhausen stops near the station, which is operated at 30-minute intervals until the early evening.
