The crossing and the signal box "Erf". No staff is working there anymore. The signal box is remote controlled from Kyllburg.
The station building includes gastronomy.
A railcar "VT644" is drawing nearer, appearing from Gerolstein...
... and stopping on platform 2.
Another "VT644" is coming from the opposite direction. On the right, the platform with the tracks 4 and 5 were there long ago. "You are connected to the Nims-Sauertal-Bahn, stopping at Bitburg Stadt, Wolsfeld, Irrel, Ralingen, Wintersdorf nach Trier" said the station master at that time.
There is still a track in front of the goods shed, but it is not in use anymore.
Towards Trier, you find an old ramp. It had an own track.
View to the station building, aside the distant signal repeaters Wvp41 and Wvp42.
Exit signals towards Trier and Bitburg Stadt (on the right, without speed signal Zs3, but direction signal Zs2).
The southern signal box is nowadays a house to live. The sign marks the border between the tracks of German Railways and the private track to Bitburg Town.
It is the former Nims Sauertal route, leading only to Bitburg Town nowadays.
