context_page_description: Tharandt station is a station on the Dresden–Werdau railway in the town of Tharandt in the German state of Saxony. Until the electrification of the line in 1966, Tharandt was an important stopover for the attachment of bank engines for operations on the Steil ramp up to Klingenberg-Colmnitz. Today, the station has only significance for the regional traffic. It is the terminus for most, but not all trains of Dresden S-Bahn's line S3.
context_section_description: No information can be given on the station’s original tracks and platforms. After the expansion around 1909, the station had two intermediate platforms. The passengers had access to the island platforms via an underpass. The baggage was carried in a luggage transfer tunnel under the main tracks. There was access to the underpass and the luggage lift at the entrance building. The remains of the entrances to the island platforms can still to be seen on the railway side of the station building. The station originally did not have a platform next to the station building and the tracks next the station building were used for bank engines and for access to the goods shed.
  Today, the station has three platforms, the station building platform and only one island platform. The access to the island platform is via a former workshop building. Passenger services towards Freiberg run from the station building platform. Trains running to Dresden and the S-Bahn services ending in Tharandt stop at the island platform. There is a track between the station building platform and the island platform and another one  behind the island platform for trains not stopping in Tharandt to pass or overtake.
