Borsdorf–Coswig Railway
The Borsdorf–Coswig railway is a mainline railway in the German state of Saxony, originally built and operated by the Leipzig-Dresden Railway Company. It runs mostly along the Freiberger Mulde from Borsdorf via Döbeln and Meißen to Coswig, Saxony, Coswig near Dresden. It is part of a long-distance connection from Leipzig to Dresden, but is now used for local traffic only. History Meißen had been linked since 1 December 1860 to the Leipzig–Dresden railway by a branch line from Coswig. On 7 July 1864 the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company ( submitted an application to build a second rail link between Leipzig and Dresden. It provided for a route along the Freiberger Mulde from Döbeln to Meißen to connect with the existing branch line from Coswig. On 16 January 1866 the company was granted a concession for the construction of the line. Work began on 4 August 1865 near Borsdorf. The line was opened as follows: *14 May 1866: Borsdorf–Grimma *27 October 1867: Grimma–Leisnig * ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
15 KV AC Railway Electrification
Railway electrification using at are used on transport railways in Rail transport in Germany, Germany, Rail transport in Austria, Austria, Rail transport in Switzerland, Switzerland, Rail transport in Sweden, Sweden, and Rail transport in Norway, Norway. The high voltage enables high power transmission with the lower frequency reducing the losses of the traction motors that were available at the beginning of the 20th century. Globally, railway electrification in late 20th century tends to use 25 kV AC railway electrification, AC systems which has become the preferred standard for new railway electrifications. Nevertheless, local extensions of the existing network is commonplace. In particular, the Gotthard Base Tunnel (opened on 1 June 2016) uses 15 kV, 16.7 Hz electrification. Due to high conversion costs, it is unlikely that existing systems will be converted to despite the fact that this would reduce the weight of the on-board step-down transformers to one t ...

Freiberger Mulde

It has a volumetric flow of which is greater than that of the other headstream, the Zwickauer Mulde (or ''Westliche Mulde'' or Western Mulde) who flow is about ,The average discharge of the Zwickauer Mulde at its mouth is recorded by the values of the ''Wechselburg 1'' gauge (Zwickauer Mulde) and indirectly by the ''Golzern 1'' (Mulde) and ''Erlln'' (Freiberger Mulde). For the intermediate catchment below Wechselburg, the drainage flow for the area is recorded from the gauge data and multiplied by the catchment area of the Zwickauer Mulde below the ''Wechselburg 1'' gauge. which is nevertheless the longer stream.

It runs from Roßwein through the Striegis valley to Hainichen, Saxony, Hainichen and on to Frankenberg, Saxony, Frankenberg and Niederwiesa, where the line ends at a junction with the Dresden–Werdau railway.

On 1 March 1869, the Royal Saxon State Railways () opened the line as a branch of the main line between Chemnitz and Dresden. Initially, only about two to three trains ran daily.

Bundesstraße 175
''Bundesstraße'' (, ), abbreviated ''B'', is the denotation for German and Austrian national highways. Germany Germany's ''Bundesstraßen'' network has a total length of about 40,000 km. German ''Bundesstraßen'' are labelled with rectangular yellow signs with black numerals, as opposed to the white-on-blue markers of the ''Autobahn'' controlled-access highways. ''Bundesstraßen'', like autobahns (''Autobahnen''), are maintained by the federal agency of the Transport Ministry. In the German highway system they rank below autobahns, but above the ''Landesstraßen'' and ''Kreisstraßen'' maintained by the federal states and the districts respectively. The numbering was implemented by law in 1932 and has overall been retained up to today, except for those roads located in the former eastern territories of Germany. One distinguishing characteristic between German ''Bundesstraßen'' and ''Autobahnen'' is that there usually is a general 100 km/h (62 mph) speed li ...
