Węgliniec Dworzec Mały lit. 'Węgliniec Little Station' (German: Kolfurt Kleinbahnhof) was a railway station on the Węgliniec–Czerwona Woda railway in the town of Węgliniec, Zgorzelec County, within the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in south-western Poland.
The station closed in 1945 as the new terminus of the Węgliniec–Czerwona Woda railway became Węgliniec railway station.[1] The line later closed for passenger services on 27 May 1967. Tracks were dismantled in 1974.[2]
History
The station was opened by the Kohlfurt–Rothwasser Light Railway Company as Kolfurt Kleinbahnhof on 22 October 1913, serving as the terminus of the Węgliniec–Czerwona Woda railway.[3] The station was located just 50 m (160 ft) to the footbridge entrance of the existing Węgliniec railway station.[4]
After World War II, the area came under Polish administration. As a result, the station was taken over by Polish State Railways, and was renamed to Węgliniec Dworzec Mały. The same year, in 1945, the station closed,[5] with the new terminus of the line becoming Węgliniec railway station.
After the Węgliniec–Czerwona Woda railway was closed in 1967, tracks around the station were dismantled in 1974.[3] The station building was not demolished, and instead became a clothing store, which was later closed. The station building still stands today.[4]
