The Olbernhau-Grünthal–Deutschneudorf railway, also known as Schweinitztalbahn, was a standard gauge branch line in Saxony from Olbernhau to Deutschneudorf in the Ore Mountains.

The discussion was taken up anew in 1908, and in its course the Austrian side proposed to build the railway in standard gauge and to extend it over Deutschneudorf into the lignite mining area of Oberleutensdorf in North Bohemia.

Since the line traversed the territory of the then Austro-Hungarian Empire between kilometres 1.86 and 2.84, a treaty dated 16 January 1916 between the countries involved regulated the conditions for the cross-border corridor traffic.

The opening which was planned for 24 October 1924 was delayed because Czechoslovakia, founded in 1918, refused to honour the treaty of 1916 with Austria-Hungary.

The opening ceremony was boycotted by the representatives of Brandau community because, although a station had been built for the village, the trains did not stop there.

[1] With the annexion of Sudetenland by Germany in 1938, border control measures in Brandau stopped until the end of World War II.

Instead, for some years the trains had to pass gates installed across the tracks on both sides of the section in Czechoslovakia and watched by border guards.

On 12 June 1970 the line was ordered to be dismantled, and the tracks as well as the steel superstructures of the bridges were lifted subsequently.

This halt was located near the confluence of Seiffener Bach with Schweinitz river (50°37′44″N 13°24′31″E / 50.628932°N 13.408475°E / 50.628932; 13.408475 (Haltestelle Niederlochmühle)) and was equipped with a team track that was connected to the line at both ends.

A small wooden station building and a toilet were provided, an old coach body was used as a storage room by the permanent way department.

A house with accommodations for railway workers was located across Talstraße street on the bank of Schweinitz river.

It consisted of a team track with a safety point and was served until the final closure of the line to freight on 26 September 1969 by local goods trains.
