Neuwied station
Neuwied station is, along with Engers station, a hub of public transport in the town of Neuwied in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate and it is located in its west. The station is located on the East Rhine Railway () and is the starting point of the Neuwied–Koblenz railway. In the station forecourt there is a bus station. The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 3 station. History 
The station was opened in 1869, along with the East Rhine Railway. In the early years, especially after the opening of the Westerwald Railway in 1884, Engers station was more important than Neuwied station. It was only after the construction of the Crown Prince Wilhelm bridge (the predecessor of today's Urmitz railway bridge) between Engers and Urmitz and the opening of the Neuwied–Koblenz railway in 1918 that the station became increasingly important, especially after the cessation of operations on the Westerwald Railway in the early 1990s. When the West Rhine Railway was opened by the Rhenish Railway Company in 1857, there was a station called Neuwied in Weißenthurm. The company operated a ferry between Neuwied and Weißenthurm from 1860. The first construction phase for the modernisation of Neuwied station was completed at the beginning of October 2011. This involved making the platform accessible with two lifts. In addition, the stairs were renewed and new wall and floor coverings with an integrated blind guidance system were installed in the passenger subway. In preparation for the second construction phase, the platform edge was raised to 55 cm in the area of the lift on the middle platform, which is faced by tracks 2 and 3, and the roof, which was in need of renovation, was replaced with modern roofing. Dynamic passenger information systems were also installed. This conversion cost €1.7 million, which was paid for out of the economic stimulus package. The second construction phase involved the renewal and raising of the platform next to the station building and the island platform. The modernisation of the station's ticket office was completed in December 2012. This measure cost €60,000. The second stage was started in the summer of 2014 and it was officially completed on 28 November 2014. Infrastructure
