context_page_description: The Borsdorf–Coswig railway is a mainline railway in the German state of Saxony, originally built and operated by the Leipzig-Dresden Railway Company. It runs mostly along the Freiberger Mulde from Borsdorf via Döbeln and Meissen to Coswig near Dresden. It is part of a long-distance connection from Leipzig to Dresden, but is now used for local traffic only.
context_section_description: Grimma ob Bf (51°13′48″N 12°42′51″E) 
  Grimma ob Bf was opened on 1 June 1866 with the name Grimma. After the opening of the Großbothen–Wurzen section of the Glauchau–Wurzen railway (Mulde Valley Railway) in 1877, the Grimma station was renamed Grimma ob Bf (short for oberer Bahnhof—"upper station") since the Mulde Valley Railway had a station in the town on the right bank of the Mulde called Grimma unt Bf (short for unterer Bahnhof—"lower station"). With the discontinuation of rail traffic on the Mulde Valley Railway (Grimma unt Bf–Nerchau section) in 1967, Grimma ob Bf is the only railway station in the town.
  Großbothen (51°11′03″N 12°45′39″E) }
  Großbothen station was opened in 1867 with the Grimma–Leisnig section of the Borsdorf–Coswig railway of the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company. Although the station is in the Kleinbothen area, it was initially planned as the “station for Colditz in Großbothen”. The connection to Colditz was made by stagecoach. With the opening of the Glauchau–Wurzen railway (9 December 1875: Rochlitz–Großbothen section; 30 June 1877: Großbothen–Wurzen section), Großbothen became a railway junction and the entrance building was built as an Inselbahnhof ("island" station building) at that time. On the north side are the tracks of the Glauchau–Wurzen railway and on the south side are the tracks of the Borsdorf–Coswig railway. Already at that time, the Borna–Großbothen railway was planned, although it was only opened in 1937 after a long construction period. After the commissioning of the Borna–Großbothen line, there were four mechanical signal boxess in the station. For the Borsdorf–Coswig line, signal box 1 was located on the western end (towards Borsdorf) and signal box 3, which was also controlled the whole station, was located at the eastern end.
  After the Second World War, Großbothen lost importance because of a break in the line to Wurzen and the dismantling of the Borna–Großbothen line. Signal box 2 was closed by 1980; the western end on the Mulde Valley Railway side received electrically-actuated, remotely-controlled points and colour light signals; these were connected to signal box 1. Shortly after 1990, the middle of the three railway platforms of the Mulden Valley Railway was closed. Traffic on the Colditz–Großbothen section of the Mulden Valley Railway was discontinued on 27 May 2000. In the rationalisation of the facilities, in preparation for the construction of the electronic interlocking system, the connections between the Mulde Valley Railway and the Borsdorf–Coswig railway at the eastern end were omitted. Since 2010, an Alcatel electronic signal box has been put into operation; it is controlled from Geithain station. The central platform of the three platforms on the Borsdorf–Coswig side was retained, but the points were locked, which made it no longer usable. Since 2014, there are again three platform faces on the Borsdorf–Coswig line side of the station and one of the tracks leased to the DRE on the Mulde Valley Railway is accessible by train to and from Grimma ob station. Signal box 4 was not included in the electronic signalling and was retained.
  Döbeln Hauptbahnhof (51°07′36″N 13°05′42″E) 
  The diesel-worked Borsdorf–Coswig and the electrified Riesa–Chemnitz lines cross in Döbeln Hauptbahnhof. It was opened on 2 June 1868. Sidings on the Coswig line north-east of the Hbf are electrified. The station building of 1868, unchanged to this day, is a heritage listed building. Between 1892 and 1926 the Döbelner Straßenbahn, a horse tramway, ran for two kilometres (1.2 mi) from the station to central Döbeln.
  Döbeln Zentrum (51°06′59″N 13°07′29″E) 
  In 1868 the station was opened as Döbeln halt (Haltepunkt) and renamed Döbeln Ost (Döbeln east) in 1905. In the meantime, the halt had been upgraded to a station  with local goods facilities for the supply of the local industry. After the dismantling of the second track between Döbeln and Meißen, only the northern platform was used; after the reconstruction of the station buildings in the middle of the 1970s, only the southern platform was use
