Berlin-Rummelsburg Betriebsbahnhof station

Berlin-Rummelsburg Betriebsbahnhof station is a former freight yard, currently used as a Betriebsbahnhof, in the suburb of Rummelsburg in the Lichtenberg district of Berlin. It is primarily used as a depot for the storage and maintenance of passenger train sets used for long-distance traffic. In particular, InterCity Express trains terminating in Berlin are stored there. Deutsche Bahn officially call the station Berlin-Rummelsburg, but it is not to be confused with the more westerly Berlin-Rummelsburg S-Bahn station. The S-Bahn section of the precinct is called S-Bahnhof Betriebsbahnhof Berlin-Rummelsburg, which is classifies as a Haltepunkt . It is served by S-Bahn line.LocationThe station is located on the Berlin-Frankfurt (Oder) railway (“Lower Silesian–Markish Railway”) between the S-Bahn stations of Rummelsburg and Karlshorst. The northern pair of tracks is used by S-Bahn services, while the remaining tracks serve regional and mainline services and are not connected to the station. To the west of the station, the VnK Railway (which once connected to Kaulsdorf) branches from the northeast and crosses the S-Bahn station over a long iron truss bridge. A rail link from the Ringbahn also connects in this area. In the southeast there was an electrified line for freight traffic, the so-called "Bulls Railway", which connected to the industrial area in Oberschoeneweide until the mid-1990s.
