History edit
In the 1990s the nature of the line changed fundamentally with the establishment of the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn. A preliminary step was the construction of a new Mosbach station. The old station had been unsatisfactory for a long time. The station was some distance from the inner city and a level crossing at the station often caused congestion on the B 27. After disagreements between the city of Mosbach and Deutsche Bahn over the transfer of the site of the old station for the upgrading of the B 27, an agreement was reached in 1994 over the use of unused infrastructure. The new station, which is about 300 m north of the old station, was opened on 24 March 1997 at the same time as the horticultural show, which was about 100 m away. Its bidirectional platforms are accessible via ramps. The length of platforms allows use by trains with a maximum length of five cars. The platform height of 76 cm allowed for the operation of the S-Bahn's electric multiple units from the beginning. The costs of the construction of the station and relocation of the surrounding streets, amounting to 53.1 million Deutsche Marks,[5] were shared between Deutsche Bahn and the town of Mosbach.
The old station was subsequently closed and demolished in 2002.
At the timetable change 2003/2004 in December 2003, lines S1 and S2 of the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn were officially opened.
Rail services edit
Mosbach (Baden) station is located at kilometer 53.4 of the Neckarelz–Osterburken railway and is served by S-Bahn trains operated by the Rhine-Neckar S-Bahn (line S1: Osterburken–Heidelberg–Mannheim–Homburg (Saar) and line S2: Mosbach (Baden)–Heidelberg–Mannheim–Kaiserslautern). Both services run hourly. Since they both use the same route between Kaiserslautern and Mosbach, they jointly provide a service every 30 minutes on this route.[6]
Line S41 of the Heilbronn Stadtbahn also begins or ends in Mosbach, running hourly; it complements lines S1 and S2 between Mosbach (Baden) and Mosbach-Neckarelz.[6]
