Leipzig-Engelsdorf marshalling yard

Leipzig-Engelsdorf marshalling yard is the central marshalling yard in the Leipzig rail node in the German state of Saxony. Until it was closed in 1994, there was also a marshalling yard at Leipzig-Wahren station. It is located on the Leipzig–Dresden, Engelsdorf–Leipzig-Connewitz and Leipzig-Wahren–Engelsdorf railways in the Leipzig suburb of Engelsdorf. The halts of Leipzig Werkstättenstraße and Leipzig-Engelsdorf Hp are located in the marshalling yard area. It was called Bahnhof Engelsdorf until December 2016.
The marshalling yard was opened with 26 sorting tracks on 1 July 1906. This was increased to 31 tracks after the extension of the subordinate group at signal box D. The entry group at the western end of the marshalling yard is located on the Leipzig Freight Ring with double-track connections to the south and the north. For trains arriving from Dresden, which terminate at the eastern hump , there is a haulage track to connect with the entry group of the western hump .
