Bad Ems station
Bad Ems is a station in the town of Bad Ems in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is on the Lahn Valley Railway. The entrance building is heritage-listed.
Construction
The station has an entrance hall, an extension formerly used as a Fürstenbahnhof and a train shed built by MAN in 1910; which is the smallest train shed in the DB network. It was built because of the great importance of Bad Ems as a spa before the First World War. The ensemble is given heritage protection as a cultural monument.A pedestrian subway, which was built later, connects the entrance building with the island platform and Braubacher Straße on the other side of the station. The entrance is equipped with a wheelchair ramp. An extension to the station building contains remains of paintings on the ceiling. This contains stairs and a lift connecting with the subway to the platform and to Braubacher Straße.
In the meantime the station was classified as a Haltepunkt. Station points were installed and the signals were renewed in August 2015 to allow more trains to pass over the Lahn Valley Railway during the busiest periods. The installation of points meant that it was reclassified from a halt to a station.

The station has a platform with two platform tracks:- track 1 : trains to Koblenz Hauptbahnhof
- track 2 : trains to Limburg and Gießen
