Leipzig–Eilenburg Railway
The Leipzig–Eilenburg railway is a two-track, electrified mainline railway in the German state of Saxony, originally built and operated by the Halle-Sorau-Guben Railway Company (german: Halle-Sorau-Gubener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft) as the Eilenburg Railway (''Eilenburger Eisenbahn''). It runs from Leipzig to Eilenburg and is part of the long-distance connection from Leipzig to Cottbus.

On 1 November 1874, the route was opened as a connection to the Leipzig–Dresden railway.

Leipzig-Wahren–Leipzig-Engelsdorf Railway
The Leipzig-Wahren–Leipzig-Engelsdorf railway is a two-track, electrified main line in the German state of Saxony, which forms the northern part of the Leipzig Freight Ring. It is mainly used by east–west freight traffic passing through the Leipzig railway node. The only parts in use are the section from Wiederitzsch to Leipzig-Engelsdorf and the section between the Leipzig-Wahren marshalling yard and junction L, which was established in 2004 as a result of the recommissioning of the Leipzig-Wahren–Leipzig Hbf railway for passenger traffic. With the transfer of freight traffic to this link and the opening of the Gröbers–Leipzig/Halle Airport–Leipzig Hbf section, it was possible to connect the former Wiederitzsch–Wahren rail tracks and the Wiederitzsch–Leutzsch freight tracks for freight operations. History The line was built by the Prussian state railways and the Royal Saxon State Railways during the reconstruction of the Leipzig railway node after the turn of t ...

Railway Station
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilit ...

Leipzig Freight Ring
The Leipzig Freight Ring (''Leipziger Güterring'') is a network of railways in Saxony and consists of several individual lines. As a bypass for freight trains in the Leipzig railway node, it links all approach lines and thus enables the separation of passenger and freight operations. History The construction of the Leipzig Freight Ring was closely linked to the extensive reconstruction of the Leipzig rail yards in the years preceding the First World War. At that time the associated railway infrastructure of the Royal Saxon State Railways and the Prussian state railways was no longer up to date and was not able to meet demand. Most of the line was built by the Prussian state railways to the north and west of the Leipzig urban area. The Royal Saxon State Railways built some connecting lines east of Leipzig, which in particular served to integrate the new Leipzig-Engelsdorf marshalling yard. The Saxon link, previously operated only as a secondary line, the Plagwitz-Lindenau–G ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
