The Eibau stop and junction (formerly the train station) is an operating point of the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen railway line and the branching line to Mittelherwigsdorf in the area of Eibau in Saxony. In the heyday of rail traffic, it was equipped as a station for freight and passenger train traffic with six tracks and three platforms. Today it only has the continuous main track with platform and a switch for the branching off. The branch point is controlled from the Bischofswerda electronic signal box .

The station only had an engine shed at the beginning, a small engine shed only existed until the 1930s.

history

Initially, the station consisted of four tracks in front of the two-and-a-half-storey reception building , a rectangular building in which the dispatcher had his seat. After the tracks from Oberoderwitz reached the station in 1879 , the station was expanded to five tracks, four of which were stump tracks . At that time there were 15 points at the station, two of which were double-cross points . At that time, between the tracks designated as track 3 and track 5 in the plan , track 4 was located , which ended at the head and side loading ramp designated as R in the plan . In front of it were the scales and loading gauge . Track 3 led north to the goods shed with a loading platform, while track 5 was located next to the loading route . A track branched off from track 1 to the locomotive shed, which no longer exists today. In front of it was a turntable with a diameter of twelve meters. In 1905 the station building was supplemented by a two-storey extension. In 1907 the Jüdel- type mechanical signal box was built. The station received the two guard interlockings W1 and W3 at the respective entrance switch groups.

In 1923 the second track on the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen line was added. This led to the reconstruction of the station. The station now had five through tracks, one stump track, a total of 22 points, including four double-crossing points. In 1935 he received his own small locomotive , which was housed in a shed on track 5 . The previous engine shed was used for a draisine and the turntable was expanded. In 1936 the use of the small locomotive ended again. In 1939, in addition to the side loading ramp, an additional loading track, track 6 , was built for military transports.

After 1945, the first continuous track 2 was removed and the platforms adapted. In 1969 there were still 14 turnouts in the station, including three double-cross turnouts. In 1970 track 4 was removed. The W3 signal box lost its function in 1972 and was converted into a barrier post. In 1987/1988 there was another renovation of the station. All mechanical signal boxes were dissolved and replaced by an electromechanical signal box . Since then, the station has had the size indicated in the sketch.

In 1995 the last journey of a freight train took place. Then track 5 was dismantled and the goods shed demolished. In 2006, traffic on the section to Seifhennersdorf ended . Theoretically, train journeys to Seifhennersdorf could still be carried out, since the route there has not yet been closed. At the moment, the operating point only consists of platform 1 on the house platform . All switches and sidings have been dismantled so that no more train crossings can take place. The station's only switch is the one on track 1 for the junction to Seifhennersdorf, which has been restored but is currently still interrupted (as of November 2016). Since trains can no longer begin, end or cross at the operating point, it is no longer formally considered a train station, but a combined stop with a branch point.

After completion of the renovation work, Eibau is only a stopping point with a branch .

Platforms

The station had two platforms, the house platform on track 1 and the intermediate platform for the Mittelherwigsdorf – Varnsdorf – Eibau line. During the double-track operation of the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen line, this platform was also used for track 2 . All tracks were accessible from the station building via a level crossing . At present the stop only has the house platform. The island platform was removed when the track system was dismantled in 2016.

traffic

At the beginning, the station was used extensively for passenger traffic. In 1874, five pairs of passenger trains ran daily on the Mittelherwigsdorf – Varnsdorf – Eibau route. In 1892 seven pairs of passenger trains ran daily on the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen line.

In 1935, eleven trains ran on the Mittelherwigsdorf – Varnsdorf – Eibau route, plus three trains only to Seifhennersdorf. In the 1960 summer timetable , nine trains were listed for the Mittelherwigsdorf – Varnsdorf – Eibau route and 13 trains for the Oberoderwitz – Wilthen route. Express trains ran through Eibau.

Eibau is of regional trains of trilex line Dresden - Zittau serviced every two hours.
