context_page_description: The Glauchau–Gößnitz railway is a single-track electrified main line railway in the German states of Saxony and Thuringia. It was originally built and operated with the support of the Saxon government and eventually became part of the Royal Saxon State Railways. It opened in 1858 and it is one of the oldest railways in Germany.
  The route is an important part of the long-distance connection between the industrial district of west Saxony and western Germany. It runs from a branch on the Dresden–Werdau in Glauchau-Schönbörnchen via Meerane to a branch on the Leipzig–Hof line near Gößnitz.
context_section_description: Glauchau-Schönbörnchen (50°49′18″N 12°30′06″E)
  Glauchau-Schönbörnchen halt (until 1931: Schönbörnchen) has existed since 1 November 1885. There had been only a junction previously. With the control of signals and points now assigned to an electronic interlocking, the station, which was temporarily classified as a station (Bahnhof), has reverted to being a halt (Haltepunkt, that is it has no sets of points).
  Dennheritz (50°48′56″N 12°28′08″E)
  Dennheritz halt was opened on 1 June 1897. Due to insufficient passenger numbers, it was closed on 11 December 2011.
  Meerane (50°51′04″N 12°27′26″E)
  Meerane station is the most important non-terminal station on the line and is used for the crossings of trains. The formerly extensive freight facilities were closed in 2000 and finally completely dismantled in 2010. In the course of the renewal of the line in 2011, the station was also modernised and a barrier-free passage to the interurban bus service was established. The control of the signals and points has since been operated by a computer at the operations control centre in Leipzig via a local electronic interlocking.
  The original, neo-classical entrance building dated from 1858. It was rebuilt in 1940/41 with the original decoration removed from the facade. It was demolished in 2011 and replaced by a simple functional building with a ticket machine and bicycle parking.
  Gößnitz (50°53′34″N 12°25′46″E)
  Gößnitz station is a link to the Leipzig–Hof and Gößnitz–Gera lines. It was opened with a sectional of the Leipzig–Hof railway in 1844. The neo-baroque reception building was demolished in 2010. An operational peculiarity is the 603.50 metre-long island platform, which can hold up to four trains at the same time. According to Deutsche Bahn AG is the longest platform in Germany.
