Dresden-Klotzsche–Dresden Airport Railway
The Dresden-Klotzsche–Dresden Airport railway is a single-track, electrified main line in Saxony, Germany. It runs from Dresden-Klotzsche station on the Görlitz–Dresden railway to Dresden Airport and today it is served exclusively by the Dresden S-Bahn. History The railway to Dresden Airport developed from a siding to the Air War School Klotzsche, which was finished in 1936. Its construction was started after the opening of the airport in Dresden in July 1935. A three kilometre-long railway siding, which had its terminus near the current Dresden-Nord interchange between the Bundesautobahn 4, Autobahn 4 and the Bundesautobahn 13, Autobahn 13, was built in 1934 to supply the area.

Flying Junction
A flying junction or flyover is a railway junction at which one or more diverging or converging tracks in a multiple-track route cross other tracks on the route by bridge to avoid conflict with other train movements. A more technical term is "grade separation, grade-separated junction". A burrowing junction or dive-under occurs where the diverging line passes below the main line. The alternative to grade separation is a level junction or flat junction, where tracks cross At-grade intersection, at grade, and conflicting routes must be protected by interlocked railway signal, signals. Complexity Simple flying junctions may have a single track pass over or under other tracks to avoid conflict; complex flying junctions may have elaborate infrastructure to allow multiple routings without trains coming into conflict, in the manner of a highway stack interchange. Flying junction without crossings Where two lines each of two tracks merge with a flying junction, they can become a Quadr ...

Principal areas of usage include department stores, shopping malls, airports, list of transit systems, transit systems (railway/railroad stations), convention centers, hotels, arenas, stadiums and public buildings. Escalators have the capacity to move large numbers of people. They have no waiting interval (except during very heavy traffic).
