In August 2008, a new electronic interlocking controlled by the Leipzig Operating Centre ("Betriebszentrale") replaced seven locally operated signal boxes, some using lever frames. It controls the train traffic between Weinböhla and Dresden-Neustadt. It replaced five mechanical interlockings of the "Jüdel" type and two power signal boxes ("Befehlsstellwerk") of S&H type. An automatic track vacancy detection system was not installed. Two dispatchers direct operations using the "Sächsischen Befehlsblocks" (Saxon command block) system. An upgrade and adaptation of these systems in the course of the German Unity Transport Project ("Verkehrsprojekts Deutsche Einheit") No. 9 has not been possible as the regulations could not have been complied with. Many jobs were lost in relation to signalling, control of points and train detection. Of the seven signal boxes, only signal box 1 on the eastern side has been retained as a memorial.
