'Dutenhofen station is a junction station in Dutenhofen, the eastmost borough of the city of Wetzlar in the German state of Hesse. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 6 station. It is much less important than Wetzlar station and is located in the north of the suburb of Dutenhofen, near the B 49. The station is located next to a level crossing over the road to Dutenhofener See. East of the station is a junction where the Dill line to Gießen separates from the freight line that bypasses Gießen, running to the junction at Bergwald on the Main-Weser Railway. Since 1962, signalling at the station has been controlled by a small relay interlocking, which is housed in the front of the entrance building.OperationsThe station is equipped with two platform tracks adjoining a central platform. Between the two main tracks at the western end of the platform there is a passing loop. The station is a stop for the Mittelhessen-Express (RB 40) service on the Dill line from Dillenburg station to Gießen and Frankfurt. In the morning peak the station is served by an RE-Sprinter service of the Main-Sieg-Express from Siegen towards Gießen, which is operated with double-deck carriages.
