Viersen station is a station in the city of Viersen in the west of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. ==History== The first Viersen station was opened on 5 October 1849 by the Aachen-Düsseldorf-Ruhrort Railway Company ((ドイツ語:Königliche Direction der Aachen-Düsseldorf-Ruhrorter Eisenbahn)) as part of its Ruhrort–Gladbach line near Alte Bruchstraße. On 4 March 1850, the company was made subordinate to the ''Royal Division of the Aachen-Dusseldorf-Ruhrort Railway'' ((ドイツ語:Königliche Direction der Aachen-Düsseldorf-Ruhrorter Eisenbahn)) based in Aachen by a royal decree. In 1862 the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company (''Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft'', BME) took over company in order to extend its network on to the western bank of the Rhine. In 1866 the management of both companies were merged and the station was renamed ''Viersen BME station''. In the same year, the BME gained its own access to the Dutch railway network with its line to Venlo, a year after its rival, the Rhenish Railway Company (''Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft'', RhE), opened its line to Nijmegen and ten years after the Cologne-Minden Railway Company (''Cöln-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft'', CME) opened its line to Arnhem. On 1 November 1878, the RhE extended its line from Neuss to a terminal station at approximately the site of the modern Viersen station. After the nationalisation of the main Prussian railways, all traffic was moved in 1887 to the BME station, which was connected to the RhE route from Neuss by a long curve to the south from the RhE station, after which the RhE station was closed and demolished. In 1917, there was another restructuring of the lines, which largely reversed the 1887 changes. The formerly straight line connecting to the Gladbach route was abandoned in favour of a new route and the connecting curve built in 1887 was dismantled. The former RhE line was reactivated and the present trackwork at the station with a separate passenger station and freight depot was built at the site of the former RhE station. Now the former BME line was connected in a long curve from the east to the new station and the old BME station was demolished. 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「Viersen station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
