(''59C1-59C3'') DE17/308 ''[The northern part of this route is in Land Brandenburg]''


This is the more easterly (not via Priestewitz) of the two parallel routes between the Großenhain area and the neighbourhood of Coswig, north west of Dresden. It consists of a section of the Berlin - Dresden main line and connections at its northern end towards Elsterwerda and Berlin or Riesa and Leipzig and at its southern end towards Dresden via Cossebaude or via Radebeul West.  
This part of the original rail route from Berlin to Dresden links Falkenberg with the Leipzig – Dresden main line near Riesa. The local passenger service has been withdrawn, but owing to engineering work between Berlin and Elsterwerda, which will last until late 2017, all ''EC'', ''EN'' and ''IC'' trains between Berlin and Dresden are diverted by this route.


The four possible routes as used as follows:
===Zabeltitz/Nünchritz (Radebeul Abzw Az) - Radebeul-Naundorf===
[500] (''72C2'') DE17/309


'''Elsterwerda via Cossebaude''': Most ''EC/IC'' services between Berlin and Dresden Hbf which are '''not''' scheduled to call at Dresden-Neustadt.  Some ''EC/IC'' trains run non-stop via Dresden-Neustadt.
Following the provision of additional tracks, most fast trains between Dresden and Leipzig or Berlin run via Radebeul Ost, whether or not they stop at Dresden-Neustadt.  The only train scheduled to run via Cossebaude and to use the line from Radebeul-Naundorf to Radebeul Abzw Az is:


'''Elsterwerda via Radebeul West''': ''EC/IC'' services between Berlin and Dresden Hbf which are scheduled to call at Dresden-Neustadt.

'''Riesa via Cossebaude''': ''IC'' and ''ICE'' trains between Leipzig and Dresden which are '''not''' scheduled to call at Radebeul-Ost or Dresden-Neustadt may run this way.
===Zabeltitz (Großenhain Berliner Bf W16) - Radebeul-Kotzschenbroda===
(''59D3-59D4'') DE17/310


'''Riesa via Radebeul West''': ''IC'' and ''ICE'' trains between Leipzig and Dresden which are scheduled to call at Radebeul-Ost or Dresden-Neustadt.  
''RB'' and ''RE'' trains between Dresden and Elsterwerda run via Priestewitz and Großenhain Cottbuser Bf.  ''EC''/''IC'' trains between Dresden and Berlin normally run direct via the main line, but are diverted via Falkenberg (Elster) during 2017.  As a result, there are no trains between Kottewitz and Großenhain Berliner Bf W16.


''RB'' and ''RE'' services do not use this route and, instead, run via Priestewitz. ''IC/ICE'' trains from Leipzig may also run via Priestewitz.
===Dresden-Plauen (Abzw Freital Ost) - Tharandt===
[510, 510.3] (''72D4-72C4'') DE17/310


===Dresden Hbf (south side high level) – Dresden-Plauen (Dresden-Altstadt) (via goods spur)===
A single-track goods line runs to the north of the main line, and at lower level, between Freital Ost and Tharandt.  At Freital-Hainsberg it is on the far side of the narrow-gauge station and yard from the main line. It is used by all westbound trains not stopping between Dresden Hbf and Tharandt.
[510, 510.3] (45B1 not shown, ''73A3'') DE16/307


Trains to and from the Chemnitz line normally use the middle (low level) or north side (high level) platforms at Dresden Hbf. This spur provides access to the south side (high level) platforms 1 to 5.
===Arnsdorf (b Dresden) – Kleinröhrsdorf (Abzw Arnsdorf Nord)===
 
[227] (''60B4'') DE17/311
===Dresden-Plauen (Abzw Freital Ost) - Tharandt===
[510, 510.3] (44A2 not shown, ''72D4-72C4'') DE16/308
 
A single-track goods line runs to the north of the main line, and at lower level, between Freital Ost and Tharandt.  At Freital-Hainsberg it is on the far side of the narrow-gauge station and yard from the main line.  It may be used by trains with no station stops between Dresden Hbf and Tharandt, particularly westbound. Trains scheduled non-stop between Dresden Hbf and Tharandt which overtake an ''S-Bahn'' service can be expected to use this route.  These depart Dresden Hbf at 05:53 (''MRB26964'''), 06:53 (''MRB26966''), 14:53 (''MRB16982''), 15:53 (''MRB26984'') and 16:53 (''MRB26986'').  The ''S-Bahn'' services being overtaken do not run at weekends, so these trains may run via the main line then.


It is possible that other services may use this route and the compilers would welcome information on these.
Most trains between Dresden and Kamenz use the west to north connecting curve west of Arnsdorf.  Trains calling at Arnsdorf reverse there and use the east to north curve.  These are departures from Arnsdorf at 03:05 1 January only (''SBS73891''), 05:30 (''SBS73851'') and 23:36 (''SBS73887'') and from Kamenz at 03:45 SSuX (''SBS73850'') and 04:50 SuX (''SBS73852'').

This north to south side of the Werdau triangle is part of the main line from Leipzig to München via Hof, but most trains now run to and from Zwickau.  This side of the triangle is used by Vogtlandbahn trains which run non-stop between Werdau and Reichenbach (Vogtl) every two hours.

[227] (44A2, ''60B4'') DE16/311


Most trains between Dresden and Kamenz use the west to north connecting curve west of Arnsdorf.  Trains calling at Arnsdorf reverse there and use the east to north curveThese are departures from Arnsdorf at 03:05 1 January only (''SBS74591''), 05:18 SSuX or 05:30 SSuX (''SBS74551'') and 23:35 (''SBS74587'') and from Kamenz at 03:39 SSuX or 03:45 SSuX (''SBS74550'') and 04:50 SuX (''SBS74552'').
This north to south side of the Werdau triangle is part of the main line from Leipzig to München via Hof, but most trains now run to and from ZwickauThis side of the triangle is used by Vogtlandbahn trains which run between Zwickau Zentrum and Reichenbach via reversal at Werdau, generally every two hours.

Leipzig Hbf (tief) (Leipzig Berliner Straße) – Leipzig Messe (Leipzig Nordkopf)

[250] (131C3-131C2) DE17/305

There are two routes available for S-Bahn trains between Leipzig Hbf (tief) and platforms 1 and 2 on the Bitterfeld line at Leipzig Messe. These are via Leipzig Nord on the Eilenburg line (6396) or via the main line to Bitterfeld (6411). There are connections between Leipzig Nordkopf, on line 6411, and Leipzig Nord. The southbound connection, in particular, follows a separate alignment of its own. All S1 trains to and from Leipzig Messe run via and call at Leipzig Nord. S2 trains to and from Delitzsch or Bitterfeld use line 6411 northbound and line 6396 southbound.

Leipzig Hbf (Leipzig-Mockau) - Rackwitz (Abzw Leipzig Messe Nord)

[250] (131C3-131C2) DE17/304

A single line (6388) runs to the east of the flyovers carrying the Wiederitzsch and Flughafen lines. It is used by RE trains between Leipzig and Magdeburg, 07:00 to 20:00, and by:

ThFO S37292 00:19 Leipzig Hbf - Bitterfeld
SuO ICE1934 15:58 Leipzig Hbf - Emden Hbf

WThO S37287 Dessau Hbf - 23:34 Rackwitz - Leipzig Hbf

D8: 11 September to 22 November 2017

Leipzig-Heiterblick - Leipzig-Anger (via Leipzig-Schönefeld)

[209.43] (131D3) DE17/306

This is an alternative route into Leizig from Cottbus, via the east side of the Leipzig ring line.

RE18396 Cottbus - 20:45 Taucha (b Leipzig) - Leipzig Hbf

Oschatz – Glossen (b Oschatz) (Döllnitzbahn GmbH)

(59B3) DE17/307

The Döllnitzbahn operates a limited service over this 750mm gauge line. Steam trains operate to Glossen at certain weekends. The only regular trains over the full length of the line are:

SSuX DBG104 13:11 Oschatz Hbf – Glossen (b Oschatz)
SSuX DBG107 14:14 Glossen (b Oschatz) – Oschatz Hbf

There is currently no service to Kemmlitz (b Oschatz). For further information see www.doellnitzbahn.de.

Falkenberg (Elster) – Glaubitz (b Riesa) (Abzw. Zeithain Bogendreieck)

(59C1-59C3) DE17/308 [The northern part of this route is in Land Brandenburg]

This part of the original rail route from Berlin to Dresden links Falkenberg with the Leipzig – Dresden main line near Riesa. The local passenger service has been withdrawn, but owing to engineering work between Berlin and Elsterwerda, which will last until late 2017, all EC, EN and IC trains between Berlin and Dresden are diverted by this route.

Zabeltitz/Nünchritz (Radebeul Abzw Az) - Radebeul-Naundorf

[500] (72C2) DE17/309

Following the provision of additional tracks, most fast trains between Dresden and Leipzig or Berlin run via Radebeul Ost, whether or not they stop at Dresden-Neustadt. The only train scheduled to run via Cossebaude and to use the line from Radebeul-Naundorf to Radebeul Abzw Az is:

SX EC258 Praha hl n - 20:47 Dresden Hbf - Leipzig Hbf

Zabeltitz (Großenhain Berliner Bf W16) - Radebeul-Kotzschenbroda

(59D3-59D4) DE17/310

RB and RE trains between Dresden and Elsterwerda run via Priestewitz and Großenhain Cottbuser Bf. EC/IC trains between Dresden and Berlin normally run direct via the main line, but are diverted via Falkenberg (Elster) during 2017.
