History
When the branch line of Lower Silesian-Mark Railway Company, operating Berlin–Wrocław railway, from Kohlfurth (nowadays Węgliniec) to Görlitz opened on 1 September 1847, it ran past the village of Moys. The railway junction at Moys was created when the Silesian Mountain Railway from Görlitz to Hirschberg (nowadays Jelenia Góra) was opened in 1865, but the junction didn't have a passenger station to serve the village until 1876.
On 15 December 2019 electrificted railway line 278 Węgliniec – Zgorzelec.[3]
