Freital-Potschappel–Nossen railway line, Abandoned narrow gauge railway line in Saxony, Germany

The railway line extends 38.8 kilometers through five towns, connecting Freital-Potschappel station in the southeast to Nossen station in the northwest.

The railway began operations in the late nineteenth century as part of the Wilsdruffer Netz, transporting passengers and freight between industrial communities in Saxony.

The German government designated this former transportation route as a cultural heritage monument, preserving the memory of narrow gauge railways in Saxony.

The railway infrastructure included multiple stations, operational facilities, and tracks designed for a maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour.

The line operated with a 750-millimeter track gauge and featured engineering solutions to manage a maximum gradient of 33 per thousand meters.
