The Lüdinghausen railway station is a station of the Dortmund-Enschede railway located at the Westphalian city of Lüdinghausen. It was opened in Summer 1875.[1][2] Trains of the line RB51 call at Lüdinghausen.[3] In December 2011, the Deutsche Bahn AG stopped selling tickets in Lüdinghausen.[4]

The railway station consists of two signal boxes with mechanic operation, (Ln (pointsman) and Lf (signalman)), two level crossings (Olfener Straße and Seppenrader Straße), two platform tracks with a centre platform, two dead-end sidings with buffer stops, and six sets of points, out of which four are remote-controlled, one is operated by waggon shunters with a nearby lever, and one is out of order. A local distillery is connected to the station.[5]
