Poggenhagen railway station

Poggenhagen is a railway station of category six [1] located in Poggenhagen, a borough of Neustadt am Rübenberge, Germany. The station is located on busy Bremen–Hanover railway and was opened in 1908; last upgrade was for launch of Hanover S-Bahn in year 2000 whose line S2 serves the station hourly.
Passing sidings on the western side of the station are also used to run a non-electrified spur to nearby Wunstorf Air Base, but traffic on this spur is very infrequent in recent years. Historically, the spur was of major importance to transport goods to Wunstorf Air Base during the Berlin Airlift of 1948/1949.

Miscellaneous

The two side platforms, each able to accommodate 3-car trains of Hanover S-Bahn, are offset so that trains stop past the Level crossing in order to allow for an easier flow of car traffic.

gollark: For all the other problems with Intel, their Linux drivers are *great*.
gollark: It actually seems like the whole setup handling them is deliberately byzantine and overcomplicated to stop this sort of thing.
gollark: I am annoyed by how hard Amazon makes it to get the ebooks I bought (realistically, bought a license to legally) out of their walled garden and onto Calibre in some sort of actually standard format. Apparently I can't get any sort of usable files off the Android app, and I've lost my actual Kindle hardware, so I've had to download some ancient version of their Windows client and run it in Wine.
gollark: Yes, this does seem to go against the previously established thing of only Ennesby being able to do that.
gollark: It's Australia. It's probably an actual kraken.
