Location within Poland

Dębiny (German: Eichwalde) was a railway station near the settlement of Dębówek, Zgorzelec County, within the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in south-western Poland.

Prior to its closure, the station served the nearby Dębówek Forestry.[1] The station closed on 3 October 1953.[2] The platform was demolished the following year.[3]

History

The station was opened by the Lusatian Railway Company as Eichwalde on 1 December 1896, part of the Ruszów–Gozdnica railway.[2] It was built to serve the nearby Eichwalde Forestry.[1]

After World War II, the area was placed under Polish administration. In the summer of 1945, the Red Army dismantled the tracks of the whole line to under 'war reparations'.[4] As a result, the station was abandoned, until 1947, when the Ruszów–Gozdnica railway was rebuilt by Polish State Railways.[5]

The station reopened on 4 May 1947 as Dębiny, under Polish State Railways, continuing to serve the nearby, now Dębówek Forestry.[1] Services called at the station until its closure on 3 October 1953.[2] The platform was demolished the following year.[3]
