Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall railway station

Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall is a railway station in the Swiss canton of Zürich and municipality of Laufen-Uhwiesen.

[1][2][3] The station is situated to the west of Schloss Laufen and its single platform overlooks the Rhine immediately below the falls.

Immediately to the east of the station the railway line tunnels under the castle and then crosses the Rhine above the falls on a bridge that also carries pedestrian traffic.

[1][3] In 2012, the government of the canton of Zürich proposed that Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall station should be closed from 2015, as it is unable to be adapted for disabled access and is too short to handle the longer trains that are to be introduced then.

An alternative of relocating the station onto the nearby Rhine bridge was considered too expensive.
