The Meilen train station is part of the Right Bank Zurichseebahn, which opened in 1893 . When the Wetzikon-Meilen-Bahn was put into operation in 1903, it became a touch station . In 1931 it became a terminus station for the aforementioned narrow-gauge railway , as the section to the shipyard had been canceled. The WMB drove for the last time on May 13, 1950.
Reception building
The reception building was built according to the plans by G. Wülfke , which he presented on November 5, 1891. These plans provided for four types of reception buildings for the right bank of the Zürichseebahn and were accepted on January 27, 1892 by the chief engineer R. Mosser. In addition to the Meilen train station, the Küsnacht ZH , Männedorf and Stäfa stations received the class 3a station house. This is the widespread building structure scheme, which consists of a multi-storey central building with a low extension on both sides.
Operational
All trains of the S6 and S7 of the Zurich S-Bahn stop at the station . Miles station has its own shunting group operated by SBB Cargo AG, which operates the Midor siding , but is also responsible for the remaining stations from Zurich Stadelhofen to Rapperswil, which are still open for freight traffic. A radio-controlled Tm IV (or converted to a Tm 232 ) is permanently stationed in Meilen .
