🚉 Opladen station

Opladen station is in the suburb of Opladen of the city of Leverkusen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is on the Gruiten–Köln-Deutz railway, which was opened on 25 September 1867 from Ohligs by the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company (BME). It was extended to Mülheim BME station on 8 April 1868. The station was also opened on 25 August 1867. The original station building was demolished in 1965 and replaced by a building built in 1968. This building was demolished in 2015 to allow the relocation of the freight tracks of the Troisdorf–Mülheim-Speldorf railway and thereby reduce the separation of Opladen and Quettingen created by largely abandoned rail tracks. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station.
