The line has only two tracks through Kamen, although quadruplication is planned, but its realisation is far away. Kamen station is an architectural monument built by the Cologne-Minden Railway Company in 1847. It was extensively refurbished in the late 1990s as part of a project called Internationale Bauausstellung (international building exhibition) Emscher Park and a bike parking area (one of the first in North Rhine-Westphalia) was built.

Services

It is served on weekdays by four Regional-Express services, NRW-Express (RE 1), Rhein-Emscher-Express (RE 3), Rhein-Weser-Express (RE 6) and Rhein-Hellweg-Express (RE 11), each running hourly.[5]
