The Göltzschtalbrücke station is a now abandoned station in Saxony . The train station was part of the Netzschkau town , but it was also in the corridors of Obermylau and Mylau . It served the traffic development of Mylau. The station was named after the Göltzschtalbrücke .

history

Station names

The station has had the following names throughout history:

  • until September 30, 1903: Mylau stop
  • to June 30, 1911: Göltzschtalbrücke station
  • since July 1, 1911: Göltzschtal bridge

business

The station was opened as the Mylau stop on May 1, 1895 together with the Reichenbach – Göltzschtalbrücke railway line . From 1901 construction work began on the Lengenfeld – Göltzschtalbrücke railway line , and the Mylau station was also extensively expanded in this context. With the opening of the first section to Weißensand , the station was upgraded to a train station and renamed the Göltzschtalbrücke . Originally, a railway line to Greiz was to be built, but due to the First World War , this project was no longer implemented. The station was hardly of any importance for passenger traffic, it was mainly used for freight traffic.

In the late summer of 1937, nine freight wagons that had started their own shunting work in Lengenfeld ran over the buffer stop on the pull-out track and crashed into the Göltzsch floodplain. During a July flood in 1954, large parts of the station were flooded and numerous tracks were carried away by the current.

Passenger traffic was stopped on December 15, 1957 between Weißensand and Reichenbach (Vogtl) above Bf . Freight traffic to Mühlwand was given up on June 1, 1967 and to Reichenbach (Vogtl) and Bf on September 26, 1970. However, there were still occasional service trips to a siding in the station area. Wagons were parked in the station until 1971.

In 1999, a short piece of platform was heaped up in the former station area, a class V 15 shunting locomotive was set up and a wooden waiting hall from Reichenbach was set up. The facilities were removed again in 2000.

Investments

Initially, there were only a waiting hall, a goods shed and an office building. Only with the construction of the route to Lengenfeld was a three-storey entrance building in brick construction, similar to that of the Mylau train station, erected. The luggage and waiting room and various service rooms were located on the ground floor, and several railway workers lived on the upper floor.

In addition to the goods shed, goods traffic could also be handled via a side loading ramp or the loading street. A segment turntable was installed on the side ramp track because there was not enough space for a switch connection. The station also had two siding, a loading gauge and a weighbridge.

The 100 m long island platform with two platform edges could only be reached through an underpass.

Later a locomotive shed was built for a small locomotive stationed here.

In the 1920s there were seven tracks and 19 points, two of which were double-crossing points . The pulling track of the station reached under the Göltzschtal bridge. If the railway line to Greiz had been built, they would have wanted to expand the station to up to 10 tracks.

At the end of the 1950s, the next station in Mylau, the line from Lengenfeld was connected directly with the help of a switch and the track of the Lengenfeld line, which previously ran parallel to the line from Reichenbach to the Göltzschtalbrücke station, was dismantled. In the mid-1960s, numerous tracks and switches had already been removed from the station.
