Emmen railway station

Emmen is a terminus railway station located in Emmen, the Netherlands. The station was opened on 1 November 1905 and is located on the Zwolle–Emmen railway. The station is operated by Nederlandse Spoorwegen.

The line continues for a short distance to a headshunt where trains can wait before returning, formerly the line continued onwards in a northerly direction with stations at Weerdinge, Exloo and Buinen, to a junction with the now closed line between Assen and Stadskanaal at Gasselternijveen. This closed in the late 1950s with the exception of a short freight only section from Gasselterijveen to Buinen which closed at the same time as Assen - Stadskanaal (early 1960s). Although the tracks have been removed, the remains of the track beds of both lines are still visible in the landscape.
