}} }} The Halle–Cottbus railway is a 176 km long double-track electrified main line in the German states of Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony and Brandenburg. It was opened in 1871 and 1872. It formed the central section of the network of the Halle-Sorau-Guben Railway Company. Today it is part of a connection between the Central Germany and Poland. Before German reunification, the line was also served by express trains, but it is now mainly used by regional and international freight traffic. == History == On 1 December 1871, the Halle-Sorau-Guben Railway Company (''Halle-Sorau-Gubener Eisenbahn'', HSGE) opened the Cottbus–Falkenberg/Elster section after its extension towards Guben was opened earlier the same year. Six months later, on 1 May 1872, trains ran via Falkenberg to Eilenburg and, two more months later, on 30 June 1872, operations on the line were extended as far as Halle. It did not connect with many of the former Prussian private railways that it crossed, as there were no at-grade connections with the existing lines, but they were mainly crossed on grade-separated crossings. There are two two-level stations in Doberlug-Kirchhain (at the intersection with the Berlin–Dresden railway) and at Falkenberg/Elster (intersection with the line of the former Berlin-Anhalt Railway Company). In Delitzsch, it built its own station separately from the existing station. On 1 November 1874, the connecting line from Eilenburg to Leipzig was opened. The line was doubled by 1911. By the end of the Second World War, the line was an important connection from Central Germany to Silesia. A number of through coaches ran to and from western Germany. Leipzig was also served with through coaches via Eilenburg. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Halle–Cottbus railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
