In the mid-1990s Deutsche Bahn AG started to renew the line . To this end , rail traffic between Pockau-Lengefeld and Marienberg was stopped beginning on 23 July 1998 . Work on this section had nearly finished at an expense of nearly 24 million Euro , when flooding in July 1999 destroyed much of the line . It took until spring 2002 to decide to rebuild the section . Further delays were caused by destructions on the line between Olbernhau and Flöha by severe flooding in August 2002
