Plattling station

Plattling station is a central railway hub in eastern Lower Bavaria in southern Germany.

On 15 October 1875, Plattling was given another junction, this time to the south via Pilsting to Mühldorf (the Mühldorf–Pilsting railway), which was expanded in 1880 by a branch to Landshut.

With the electrification of the main line from Regensburg to Passau in May 1959 and the general changeover of motive power in the DB, the Bahnbetriebswerk at Plattling soon lost its function in maintaining steam locomotives.

In the night of 2–3 June 2008 the 4,000 m2 (43,000 sq ft) historic locomotive shed burned down to its foundation walls, having served at the time as a warehouse for a paper factory.

Plattling station today is the central transport hub in the eastern part of Lower Bavaria.
