Weidenthal station

It is located in the network area of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (Rhine-Neckar transport association, VRN) and belongs to fare zone 111.

The former entrance building including the former platforms are located on Bahnhofstraße (station street).

The current station is located about 800 metres further north at the street of Sensental (Sensen valley).

The main line from Mannheim to Saarbrücken runs in the area of the station from south-east to west-northwest.

[8][9] During this time, the station was managed by the operations and construction inspectorate (Betriebs- und Bauinspektion) of Neustadt an der Haardt and was part of the responsibility of the Bahnmeisterei Lambrecht (office of the track master of Lambrecht).

[18] During the First World War and the inter-war period, local transport was largely limited to the Neustadt–Kaiserslautern route.

In the middle of the Second World War, most local services on the Mannheim–Saarbrücken railway ran only on sections of the line.

[6] In 1871, the normal freight trains on the Ludwig Railway on the Kaiserslautern–Mainz, Homburg–Frankenthal, Ludwigshafen–Neunkirchen, Worms–Homburg routes stopped at the station for between three and five minutes.

In addition there was a stone train on the Kaiserslautern–Ludwigshafen route, which stopped at the station for a total of 15 minutes.

[24] At the present time, the connecting track from Weidenthal station is used by the Feinpapierfabrik Glatz paper factory in nearby Neidenfels.

[26] The station itself was previously controlled by a Siemens press button relay interlocking without automatic route-setting, which is now out of operation.

In both directions, the maximum speed allowed in the station area is 90 kilometres per hour.
