Leipzig Hbf–Leipzig-Connewitz Railway
The Leipzig Hauptbahnhof–Leipzig-Connewitz railway is a double track electrified main line in the German state of Saxony. It used to be a short link line from Leipzig Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) to Connewitz station, where it connects with the main line from Leipzig to Hof. The line was closed for good between Leipzig Hbf and Leipzig-Stötteritz in November 2012. History As a successful private company the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company (german: Leipzig-Dresdner Eisenbahn-Compagnie) was mainly interested in developing its network rather than linking with other railways. After its nationalisation on 1 July 1876, connection of its lines with the existing national railway network became a priority. As a result, the link from Leipzig Hauptbahnhof to the Royal Saxon State Railways line at Connewitz was opened on 20 August 1878. In the early 1960s the line was one of the first lines electrified in East Germany as part of the ''Saxon triangle'' project. On 15 January 1962 the ...

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] |
