Freight transport
Since 15 December 2002, all regional trains on the Elsterwerda–Dresden route have run over the Großenhain–Priestewitz line and the connecting line opened between two Großenhain stations in 1875. The Berlin line station on the Berlin–Dresden railway was abandoned as a stop for passenger trains. In 2011, the Großenhain–Priestewitz line was used by Regional-Express services on the Elsterwerda–Dresden, Cottbus–Dresden and Hoyerswerda–Dresden routes. Freight transport is of minor significance.
