[DE] Der Bahnhof in Weißenthurm gehört zu den Haltestellen der linken Rheinstrecke am Mittelrhein.

"Die linke Rheinstrecke ist eine Eisenbahnhauptstrecke, die am Mittelrhein entlang von Köln über Bonn, Koblenz und Bingen nach Mainz verläuft.
Bis zum Bau der Schnellfahrstrecke Köln–Rhein/Main war sie eine der wichtigsten Strecken im Schienenpersonenfernverkehr Westdeutschlands. Aufgrund ihres Verlaufs durch das obere Mittelrheintal (Welterbe Kulturlandschaft) gilt sie wie die parallel verlaufende rechte Rheinstrecke bis heute als eine der romantischsten Eisenbahnstrecken in Deutschland.

Die linke Rheinstrecke ist auf ihrer gesamten Länge von 185 Kilometern zweigleisig ausgebaut und seit 1959 mit Oberleitung versehen."

[EN] The train station in Weißenthurm is one of the stops of the left Rhine route on the Middle Rhine.

"The left Rhine stretch is a main railway line running along the Middle Rhine along Cologne via Bonn, Koblenz and Bingen to Mainz.
Until the construction of the Cologne-Rhine / Main rapid-transit route, it was one of the most important routes in West German rail passenger traffic. Because of its course through the Upper Middle Rhine Valley (World Heritage Site), it is still one of the most romantic railroad routes in Germany.

The left Rhine stretch has been doubled over its entire length of 185 kilometers and has been equipped with an overhead line since 1959. "
