context_page_description: Bad Kreuznach station is the largest station in the town of Bad Kreuznach in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The station is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 3 station. It is regularly served by Regional-Express and Regionalbahn services on the Nahe Valley Railway. The station is located south-east of the town centre.
context_section_description: The first station in Bad Kreuznach was opened in 1858 with the Nahe Valley Railway and was later used as a freight yard, which is now closed. Between 1896 and 1936, the Kreuznach Light Railways (Kreuznacher Kleinbahnen), a network of 750 mm gauge lines, also terminated at the station. On 1 June 1864 a second station opened in southern Bad Kreuznach called Kreuznach Bad to improve access to the southern part of the city. With the opening of the railway line to Gau-Algesheim in 1902, the present station was built at the junction of two lines between the two stations. The station went into operation in 1905 and the entrance building was built between 1905 and 1908. In due course the other two stations were closed.
