History
The station was opened by the Kohlfurt–Rothwasser Light Railway Company as Kolfurt Kleinbahnhof on 22 October 1913,[3] serving the nearby forestry, with a loading bay, primarily used to transport timber.[2]
After World War II, the area came under Polish administration. As a result, the station was taken over by Polish State Railways, and was renamed to Zgorzelec Gaj (which was later renamed to Zgorzelec Nadleśnictwo in 1947).[4]
Passenger services continued until their withdrawal on 22 May 1954.[1] The station was converted to a siding, used as a fuel depot, and still a loading bay for local goods, usually timber.[4] The station was officially closed in 1959. The whole line was later dismantled in 1974. Any remaining station infrastructure was also demolished.[3]
