context_page_description: Weilheim (Oberbay) station is the station of the Bavarian district town of Weilheim in Oberbayern. It is a crossing station on the Munich–Garmisch-Partenkirchen railway, the Ammersee Railway from Mering and the Weilheim–Schongau railway. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station and has five platform tracks. It is served by about 100 trains daily operated by Deutsche Bahn and Bayerische Regiobahn.
  At the opening of the station in Weilheim on 1 February 1866, it was a through station on the Munich–Unterpeißenberg line. With the opening of the line to Murnau on 15 May 1879, which was extended to Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1889, it became a “separation” station and with the opening of the Ammersee Railway on 30 June 1898 it became a “crossing” station. It has a small locomotive depot until 1986 with a roundhouse and a turntable.
context_section_description: By 1977, Weilheim station had 23 tracks, including five platform tracks. East of the platform tracks there were the local loading tracks, five of which were north and five south of the station building. South of the building there was also the goods shed with a loading dock, equipped with two tracks and a loading road. West of the platform tracks were freight and storage sidings as well as the roundhouse and the turntable of the locomotive depot. Most of the loading and storage sidings were closed and dismantled In the following years and in 2002 and 2004.
  The five platform tracks are located on a home platform and two island platforms, all of which are covered. The platform canopies of the two island platforms still come from the state railway period and are built of wood joists. All platforms are equipped with digital destination indicators in 2009. The island platforms are connected by an underpass to the station building, which was only accessible by stairs until 2017. Because of the low platform height of 34 cm, Intercity-Express trains formerly could not stop in Weilheim. West of the platform tracks, there exist two freight tracks without platforms and three terminating tracks that can only be approached from the north and are used for the parking of Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB) railcars. The goods shed south of the station building is preserved. To the west of the three terminating tracks of the station there is a diesel filling station.
  As part of the renovation from 2016 to 2017, the old platforms were demolished and rebuilt one after the other. The platform canopies were completely renewed and all platforms were given barrier-free access to the underpass via lifts from Schindler and tactile paving. The main platform and the first central platform were rebuilt with a height of 76 cm and the other island platform is 55 cm high.
