History The Bonn construction company ''Spuhn'', which won the contract for the construction of the Lahn Valley Railway between Balduinstein and Runkel, started work in Balduinstein in the autumn of 1857. Since August of the same year, the ''Georg Mayer'' company from Alzey had been working on the ''Cramberg tunnel'', the east portal of which lies south of Balduinstein.

Railway Stations In Rhineland-Palatinate
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilit ...

It runs over the Lahntal railway, the West Rhine railway and the Cross Eifel Railway.
