Route information
List of railway stations in North Rhine-Westphalia

Kamen station is a station in the city of Kamen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is on the Dortmund–Hamm railway.

The line has only two tracks through Kamen, although quadruplication is planned, but its realisation is far away. Kamen station is an architectural monument built by the Cologne-Minden Railway Company in 1847. It was extensively refurbished in the late 1990s as part of a project called Internationale Bauausstellung (international building exhibition) Emscher Park and a bike parking area (one of the first in North Rhine-Westphalia) was built.

Services

It is served on weekdays by four Regional-Express services, NRW-Express (RE 1), Rhein-Emscher-Express (RE 3), Westfalen-Express (RE 6) and Rhein-Hellweg-Express (RE 11), each running hourly.
