    Pirna Großcotta railway line: Construction work on the route began in April 1893. In order to reach the upper Lohmgrund, a 256 m long tunnel had to be excavated shortly before the end point, otherwise the new route did not require any major engineering structures. On March 21, 1894, the line was opened for passenger and freight traffic.
    Passenger traffic was stopped in 1957, and freight traffic in the Pirna-Zehista–Lohmgrund section also ended in March 1963. In Pirna-Zehista, the industrial connections there were served until November 1, 1998.

    On February 28, 1999, the Pirna Süd–Pirna-Zehista line was closed. The tracks were dismantled in 2002. Unfortunately!!

        Always count the railway sleepers. 😃
