very busy train station in the heart of Zurich

Zurich Main Station – Transportation Hub and Historic Monument Zurich Main Station is not only the largest but also one of the oldest train stations in Switzerland. With almost 3,000 arrivals and departures per day, it is also considered one of the busiest train stations in the world. Domestic and long-distance trains from neighboring France, Austria, Italy, and Germany characterize the terminus of Switzerland's very first railway line, the "Spanish Bun Railway." It is located directly adjacent to the Swiss National Museum on the edge of the old town. The Sihl River flows beneath its tracks and platforms, and its confluence with the Limmat River is also nearby. Zurich Main Station was originally built as a terminus station. However, there are now underground through-tracks for the S-Bahn (suburban railway). Another underground section for regular train traffic is under construction and is scheduled for completion in 2014. The building, designed by architect Jakob Friedrich Wanner, opened in 1871, replacing the old structure by Gustav Albert Wegmann from 1847. The monumental main entrance, designed as a triumphal arch, led into a magnificent interior with numerous courtyards and arcades, waiting rooms, and restaurants.

The late classicist Stadelhofen train station from 1894 was expanded in the 1990s as a result of the expansion of regional rail traffic. The Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava was commissioned with the project. Calatrava created an open, partly transparent roof made of concrete and steel for the platforms, which is modeled on the ribs of a bull.

History / Zurich Stadelhofen Station In 1894, the right-bank Zurich Lake Railway opened its railway line from Rapperswil via Meilen to Tiefenbrunnen and through the Riesbach Tunnel to Stadelhofen. The line ran through the Letten Tunnel to Letten Station and from there in a wide arc over the Limmat River to the main station. Since the introduction of the Zurich S-Bahn in 1990, the Letten Tunnel has been closed, and trains travel directly from the main station through the double-track Hirschengraben Tunnel to Stadelhofen. Two railway lines diverge at the three-track station. The single-track line runs through the old Riesbach Tunnel to Tiefenbrunnen and continues to Rapperswil. Since 1990, the double-track line has been in operation through the Zürichberg Tunnel to Stettbach and further towards Winterthur and Uster.
