The Reichenbach (Vogtl) and Bf train station was an operating point on the Reichenbach – Göltzschtalbrücke railway line in Reichenbach in the Vogtland . The station existed from 1895 to 1974; between 1902 and 1962 it was the starting point of the narrow-gauge railway to Oberheinsdorf ("Rollbockbahn").

history

The station was opened on May 1, 1895 as a stop. From 1898 it had the rank of a train station. In addition, the station had a reception building , a 100-meter-long platform , an office building and a goods shed , which had to be expanded again and again over the years. Several loading ramps were used for freight traffic . The tracks were spanned by a pedestrian bridge.

With the opening of the narrow-gauge railway (gauge 1000 mm) in 1902 to Oberheinsdorf, the station experienced several extensions. On the south side, a four-seater locomotive shed was built for the narrow-gauge locomotives, two water cranes and two trolley pits, by means of which the standard-gauge freight wagons could be placed on meter-gauge trolleys . A third rail was added to the platform track so that vehicles of both gauges could use it. With the start of passenger traffic on the narrow-gauge railway in 1909, the lower station became a transition station between normal and narrow-gauge railways, including for travelers.

From 1935 to 1968, the station also had a shed and a tank system for small locomotives.

From 1944, all stops in Reichenbach's urban area and those of the Rollbockbahn were subordinate to the station. In 1957, passenger traffic on both lines ended, in 1962 the narrow-gauge railway was shut down and its facilities were subsequently dismantled. On June 1, 1964, he was subordinated to the Reichenbach (Vogtl) station above Bf . From 1971, the station was the end point of the section of the line that was still in operation; in 1974, operations ended entirely with the closure of the section between the lower station and the Reichenbach (Vogtl) Ost station. The track dismantling began in 1975.

Current condition

The track systems have now completely disappeared, today the federal highway 94 runs between the reception building and the goods shed . The buildings, however, have been preserved; The reception building and goods shed were renovated in the run-up to the State Horticultural Show 2009, which included part of the former station area.
