context_page_description: Gummersbach-Dieringhausen station has existed since 1887 and it made the formerly insignificant village of Dieringhausen an important regional town in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Its former railway lines, railway depot and railway settlements still dot the village.
  For a long time Dieringhausen station was an important railway junction in the Oberbergisches railway network and it was the most important station in the district town of Gummersbach, although it was not located in its centre.
  The station is heritage-listed. Both the entrance building and the former depot have been listed since 1989.
  Even today the station is operationally the most important station on the Siegburg–Olpe railway, since trains are refuelled in the station and it serves as storage sidings at night.
context_section_description: Extensive trackage still exist near the  station building, demonstrating the former regional importance of this station. The ticket office in the station building and the kiosk has been closed for several years and the building now houses a bank and a Chinese restaurant.
  Previously, there were two platforms. The entrance to platform 1 has still not been made accessible for the disabled. The entrance to the now quite dilapidated and trackless platform 2 is bricked-up. The roof of the former building on platform 2 has collapsed. The baggage lifts have long been decommissioned.
  Today Gummersbach-Dieringhausen station, which belongs to the Cologne diesel network, is served by Regionalbahn service RB 25 (Oberbergische Bahn) with Alstom Coradia LINT 81 railcars stopping at the remaining two platform tracks and by the museum trains of the Wiehl Valley Railway (platform track 2). RB 25 services cross in Gummersbach-Dieringhausen. The other tracks are partially used for the stabling of Talent railcars (in the eastern area of the station, including the refuelling track) and the rolling stock of the railway museum (the western part). The other tracks are no longer used and are overgrown and partially dismantled.
  The former freight unloading tracks at the first station (now used by the railway museum) have not been used since 1997, but the loading tracks are still available. The former truck parking area for freight clearance is now used as a car park.
