Nossen, located on the Freiberger Mulde, is not an unknown place among railway enthusiasts. The Dresden – Döbeln – Leipzig railway line runs through the small town and the routes to Freiberg and Riesa branch off there. Until 1972 there was also a 750 mm narrow-gauge railway that ran from Nossen via Mohorn and Wilsdruff to Freital-Potschappel. The main task of the Nossen railway depot, which was formed in 1923, was to haul passenger and freight trains on the routes originating from Nossen. The series based here were correspondingly diverse even in the days of steam locomotives. The inventory lists include representatives of the series 23.10, 38.2-3, 38.10-40, 50, 52, 55.16-22, 57.10-40, 58.4, 58.10-21, 75.5, 86 and 91.3-18. From 1976 onwards, the steam traction in Nossen was increasingly replaced by diesel locomotives of the 106, 110 and 112 series.
Until 1946, the narrow-gauge locomotive stations at Frauenstein, Klingenberg-Colmnitz, Lommatzsch, Mohorn, Meißen-Jaspisstraße, Freital-Potschappel, Hainsberg, Radeburg and Wilsdruff were under the Nossen depot. On November 1, 1967, the narrow-gauge Mügeln depot, which had previously been independent, was incorporated into the Nossen depot, and on October 1, 1972, Nossen took over complete operational management from the Wilsdruff depot on the narrow-gauge routes Freital-Hainsberg - Kurort Kipsdorf and Radebeul-Ost - Radeburg . Accordingly, the Nossen depot was also officially home to the narrow-gauge steam locomotives of the 99.51-60, 99.64-71, 99.73-76 and 99.77-79 series.
The book provides comprehensive information about the interesting and varied history of the Nossen railway depot and describes in detail the operational history of the locomotive series available there.
Ek-Verlag is mainly associated with the monthly Eisenbahn Kurier, which was first published in 1966. However, EK-Verlag offers even more, namely a varied program in the areas of historical railway and locomotive technology as well as railway and transport history, model railways, urban transport and rail vehicles.
