The station is currently classified as a category 5 station.〔 It is served by regional services and Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn line S 5. ==History == Freight operations started at Barop with the opening of the main line of the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company on December 1848. For many years the railway was closely connected with the industrial history of the Barop/Hombruch area. Thus, the station was primarily built for the transport of coal mined in Barop and it was located near the ''Louise'' colliery in Hörder Chaussee (now Stockumer Straße), and connected by sidings to the ''Vereinigte Wittwe & Barop'' colliery and the Giesbert shaft of the ''Glückauf'' colliery, which were nearby. The ''Henriette'' colliery, which was about two km away, was probably connected by a horse-hauled tramway when the station opened. On 9 March 1849, passenger services began running on the line. Nonetheless, freight was the centre of operations at the station: not only for the local collieries served by the station, as it was also used by local companies to load and unload freight, especially for the ''Baroper Maschinenfabrik'' ("Barop engineering works") from 1856 and the ''Baroper Walzwerk'' ("Barop rolling mill") from 1862. In 1861, the station was moved to its present location near the Harkortstraße. The Clausthal shaft of the ''Vereinigte Louise Tiefbau'' colliery was connected by a ropeway conveyor to the train station in 1865. Another track joined the station to the Gotthelf shaft of the ''Glückauf Tiefbau'' colliery from around 1870. Finally, in 1895 a track was built to the ''Kaiser Friedrich'' colliery in Menglinghauser, connecting to Barop station. A gradual decline of the coal mines in the Barop area began from the 1880s. In 1880, the siding was extended to ''Holthausen'' colliery in Eichlinghofen and the ''Wittwe & Barop und Henriette'' colliery was closed in 1888. Large coal mining in Barop largely ended in 1925 with the closure of the remaining mines. Only the ''Kaiser Friedrich'' coking coal mine remained in operation until 1930. Also ''Baroper Maschinenfabrik'' was closed after the First World War. Other industries were established on the abandoned land in the next few years. The majority of the volume of freight in 1928 served the rolling mill, which had been acquired by Hoesch AG. A steel footbridge was built across the railway next to the Harkortstraße level crossing. Long after the incorporation of Barop into Dortmund, this event was reflected in the renaming of the station ''Dortmund-Barop'' in May 1950. In the 1980s, a renewed decline of freight transport in Barop began. General freight traffic was abandoned and the freight shed was used for a few years as a fruit market. The rolling mill was closed, as was the yard of the Uhde company. Even the station building, which opened in 1861, and the pedestrian bridge were demolished. Since 29 May 1994, Barop station has been served by line S 5 of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn, running between Dortmund and Hagen. Until 2002, Barop yard handled freight, since then the station has been served only by the S-Bahn. Due to this decline of freight traffic, the remaining points were taken out of service in June 2006 and the entrance and exit signals were decommissioned and replaced by block signals. Therefore, it is considered as a halt (''Haltepunkt'') from an operational point of view.〔 The vacant land left after the demolition of the sidings is for sale. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dortmund-Barop station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
