Neumarkt (Oberpfalz) station (officially: Neumarkt (Oberpf)), is the oldest and most important railway station in Neumarkt, Germany. It is classified by DB Station&Service as a category 3 station and is also Neumarkt's only long-distance stop.
The station is located south of the Altstadt at the end of Bahnhofstrasse. The station building is on the northeast side of the Nuremberg–Regensburg railway. Immediately next to the station building is platform 1, then platforms 2/4 and 5. Beyond that there are several shunting and storage sidings.
South of the station the former Sulztalbahn branches off to Greiselbach. Today it acts as an industrial siding for the firms of Max Bögl at Sengenthal and Pfleiderer AG near the station, as well as being a storage siding for individual trains. Another siding, no longer used, turns off this one to Dehn und Söhne in Hans-Dehn-Strasse.
Neumarkt station is served at least hourly by Regionalbahn trains to Nuremberg – Erlangen – Lichtenfels and to Regensburg – Plattling. Regional-Express trains to Nuremberg and Munich run every 2 hours. These services form route R5 (Nürnberg – Neumarkt – Parsberg) in the Nuremberg Regional Transport Union (VGN) network. In addition, every morning and evening InterCity trains on the Passau – Karlsruhe and Hamburg – Passau routes also call at the station.
