Leipzig-Engelsdorf–Leipzig-Connewitz railway
The Leipzig-Engelsdorf–Leipzig-Connewitz railway is a double-track, electrified main line in the Leipzig area in the German state of Saxony. It was originally built as part of the Leipzig Freight Ring, but since December 2013 it has also been mainly used for the operations of the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland. At the former Tabakmühle junction the line now transitions into the Tabakmühle junction–Leipzig Bayer Bf railway and the approximately 800 m-long section from Tabakmühle junction to the beginning of Leipzig-Connewitz station is closed.
Leipzig-Anger-Crottendorf halt opened in 2013. This is served by the S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland and during the upgrading of the line in 2018–2021 it will be rebuilt as a barrier-free halt with a central platform (March 2015)
