waiting hall also remains closed. In May 2012, it was announced that the DB had sold the building to an Eilenburg telecommunications company. There are plans to upgrade the building by the autumn of 2012 as the company's headquarters. The tracks are located south of the entrance building and on the other side of them is federal highway 87. The station has two platforms with four edges for transport services: the platform 1 has a length of 470 metres and platform 2 is 325 metres long and is reached by a pedestrian underpass. Both have a platform height of 38 centimetres. On platform 2, there are still a waiting room and the office of the platform supervisor, both of which are now unused. The main platform, as well as a 150-metre-long outside platform, which connects to platform 2 are no longer used for the embarkation and disembarkation of passengers. The station building is accessible by the disabled, but the platforms can only be reached by stairs. Freight yard In Eilenburg, close to the south end of the passenger station, there are about ten tracks of a freight yard with a hump. There are also sidings for the use of freight cars and locomotives to the east of the entrance building and the Railion social facility. In this area on track 39, there is still a power supply point and there was formerly a loading dock. Today there is a loading road next to track 34. In addition to the dispatcher signalbox (coded Ew) there is an office of DB Netz. The supervisor of the freight yard is no longer available. A Voith Gravita diesel locomotive (class DB-261) series is used for marshalling. Previously, this task required one to two diesel locomotives of class V 90. A class 232 locomotive is used to haul the connecting freight trains. Locomotive depot A locomotive depot (Bahnbetriebswerk) was established in Eilenburg in 1926. It oversaw the locomotive depots in Torgau and Schildau and, after 1964, also the locomotive depots in Wurzen. It operated 16 to 18 locomotives of classes 38, 52.80, 55.72 and 94 for operations in Eilenburg. There were also six to eight locomotives in Torgau, two in Schildau and three in Wurzen. The Eilenburg depot, including its three branches, employed a total of about 350 people in management, locomotive despatch, locomotive maintenance, maintenance of technical systems and stationary personnel.
