Neuhausen Rheinfall is a railway station in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, in the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen. The station opened on 13 December 2015, principally to serve the tourist attraction of the Rhine Falls, from which it takes its name. It is linked by a combination of bridges and lifts to the bank of the Rhine just below the falls.[1]
Location[]
The station is located on the Eglisau to Neuhausen line of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) that crosses the international border twice on its route between the Swiss cantons of Zürich and Schaffhausen. The station is operated by the SBB and is an intermediate stop on the Zürich S-Bahn line S9 between Zürich and Schaffhausen, and the Schaffhausen S-Bahn between Jestetten and Schaffhausen. Both lines operate hourly for most of the day, combining to provide a half-hourly service to and from Schaffhausen.[2][3][4]
Neuhausen Rheinfall station is one of three stations in Neuhausen, the other two being Neuhausen railway station which is the next station in the direction of Schaffhausen on the same line and Neuhausen Badischer Bahnhof which is on a different line. Neuhausen Badischer Bahnhof lies about 500 metres (1,600 ft) to the north-west, whilst Neuhausen station is 750 metres (2,460 ft) to the north-east. It is also one of two stations intended to serve the Rhine Falls, the other being Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall station on the opposite bank of the river.[2]
Customs[]
As the next station is Jestetten, which is in Germany, Neuhausen Rheinfall is a border station for passengers arriving from Germany. Customs checks may be performed aboard trains and in Neuhausen Rheinfall station by Swiss officials. Systematic passport controls were abolished when Switzerland joined the Schengen Area in 2008.[5][6]
