The HSZG also took part in the major event along the route of the historic steam railroad for the third time.
For the 10th time, historic vehicles were in constant use on the tracks and roads of the Zittau Mountains at the weekend.
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has been cooperating with Sächsisch-Oberlausitzer-Eisenbahn GmbH for several years. One result of this very constructive cooperation is the development of the Zittau-Süd station into a training signal box, which is available to students of railroad control and safety technology for particularly practical training.
With the active support of two LST students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Mr. Hornung - a research assistant in the railway-specific control and safety technology project - kept Zittau Süd station operational on both days of Historik Mobil so that railroad operations could be safeguarded in accordance with the historical operating regulations of the 1960s. In view of the fact that thousands of passengers once again passed through this station (the event already had 25,000 visitors in 2015), the extraordinary commitment was also an effective contribution to drawing the attention of railroad enthusiasts to the railway-specific training opportunities at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
