Cottbus–Frankfurt (Oder) Railway
The Cottbus–Frankfurt (Oder) railway is a single-track main line in the German state of Brandenburg, which was originally built and operated by the Cottbus-Großenhain Railway Company (german: Cottbus-Großenhainer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, CGE) and directly connects the two cities to each other. It runs from Cottbus via Peitz to Frankfurt (Oder). Only the section between Grunow and Frankfurt and a short section near Cottbus are still in operation. Trains running over the line now use the line to Guben and continue on the line of the former Lower Silesian-Mark Railway (''Niederschlesisch-Märkische Eisenbahn''). History Planning for a rail connection from the area around the town of Müllrose had started by 1840. In 1843, August Leopold Crelle presented a design for a railway from Berlin to Breslau (now Wrocław) that would run near Briesen. This connection—the Lower Silesian-Mark Railway—was, however, built via Frankfurt (Oder). Subsequently plans were studied for a li ...

Alternating Current
Alternating current (AC) is an electric current which periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time in contrast to direct current (DC) which flows only in one direction. Alternating current is the form in which electric power is delivered to businesses and residences, and it is the form of electrical energy that consumers typically use when they plug kitchen appliances, televisions, fans and electric lamps into a wall socket. A common source of DC power is a battery cell in a flashlight. The abbreviations ''AC'' and ''DC'' are often used to mean simply ''alternating'' and ''direct'', as when they modify ''current'' or ''voltage''. The usual waveform of alternating current in most electric power circuits is a sine wave, whose positive half-period corresponds with positive direction of the current and vice versa. In certain applications, like guitar amplifiers, different waveforms are used, such as triangular waves or square waves. Audio a ...

It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 2 station. History Cottbus station entered into operation on 13 September 1866 with the opening of the railway line from Berlin.

In the following years, other railway lines were built in the region. The ''Großenhainer Bahnhof'' (the station serving trains to Großenhain) was opened on the Großenhain–Cottbus railway in 1873, north of the ''Berliner Bahnhof'' (the station serving trains to Berlin). In 1880, this station was closed and the trains were diverted to the Berlin station. The building of the ''Großenhainer Bahnhof'' still exists and serves the railway administration ...

Cottbus-Großenhain Railway Company
The Cottbus-Großenhain Railway Company (german: Cottbus-Großenhainer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, CGE) was a railway company in Prussia. It owned rail links between Großenhain, Cottbus and Frankfurt (Oder). History It was founded in 1868, with the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company (''Leipzig-Dresdner Eisenbahn-Compagnie'') holding a third of the capital, as it had hoped for additional traffic as a result of the construction of the new line. They also took over its management when the 80 km long Cottbus–Senftenberg–Großenhain line opened on 20 April 1870. The first Director of the CGE until 1876 was Karl Eduard Zachariae von Lingenthal. The company was based in Cottbus. The 71 km long extension of the main line to the northeast of Cottbus via Grunow to Frankfurt (Oder) was opened to traffic on 31 December 1876. From 1 June 1874. the CGE decided—at the request of the Prussian government—to operate its own line, as well as the newly opened Upper Lusatian Railway Co ...
