The Rheinfelden (Baden) train station is the more important of the two railway stations of South Baden town of Rheinfelden , near the border between Germany and Switzerland . It is up to that of Basel over Waldshut and Schaffhausen by Constance leading Upper Rhine Railway . The station originally had the task of serving Rheinfelden in Switzerland , as Rheinfelden in Baden did not yet exist when the Hochrheinbahn and the station were built.
Surname
During the construction of the Hochrheinbahn, the station, which was then in the open, was initially named "near Rheinfelden", as it linked the Swiss Rheinfelden to the national rail traffic. The station kept this name until 1900. On June 1, 1901, it was given the name "Badisch Rheinfelden" after the settlement on the Baden side had grown steadily as a result of industrialization . On June 1, 1923, the railway station of the municipality Rheinfelden, which had meanwhile been elevated to a town, was officially renamed "Rheinfelden (Baden)". He has kept this name to this day.
history
On February 4, 1856 the opening of the first section of the Hochrheinbahn between Basel Badischer Bahnhof and the spa town of Bad Säckingen took place . In order to develop the up-and-coming health resort of Rheinfelden, the Grand Ducal Badische Staats-Eisenbahn opened the station near Rheinfelden near the northern bridgehead of the Old Rhine Bridge and not far from the customs house . The site was almost uninhabited at the time, and the city of Rheinfelden (Baden) only came into being four decades later. The railway set up the station with a reception building and premises for cargo handling. However, it was completed a little later and could only be opened to traffic on August 1, 1856. A characteristic of the development history of the station is that the station building was erected on the south side of the railway line and thus oriented towards Rheinfelden in Switzerland , but Rheinfelden in Baden is still only connected to its station via an underpass .
The platforms and tracks of the station were soon no longer sufficient and had to be expanded considerably in 1882 and 1890.
In 1892, the station received a central switch system, which was expanded in 1897 with a signal box . In 1901, the station had to be rebuilt again because it no longer met the increased requirements. The mechanical signal boxes were given in 1903 twelve routes , three signal boxes, 23 points , four driveway lever and seven signals .
The new reception building, the planning of which went back to 1900, was completed in 1904.
Until the railway reform in 1994, the Rheinfeld station, which is today the economically most important and most important station on the section between Basel and Waldshut, was a hub station with 135 employees. All train stations from Grenzach to Murg were subordinate to him .
The station has been unmanned since the Waldshut electronic interlocking went into operation. The two signal boxes were demolished at the end of 2006 because they were no longer needed.
Track systems
Rheinfelden station has seven sidings . The Dynamit Nobel company (now part of Degussa AG) has its own factory locomotives for maneuvering, while the aluminum works convert their wagons with an all-purpose Unimog. Degussa's tracks are larger than those at Rheinfelden train station.
Two platforms with a total of three tracks are available for passenger traffic . Platform 1 on the house platform is reserved for trains in the direction of Waldshut . Track 2 and track 3 are located on a central platform , on track the trains run towards Basel Bad Bf . Track 3 only serves as a sideline for scheduled or unscheduled overtaking of slower trains.
traffic
The Baden city of Rheinfelden belongs to the Regio Verkehrsverbund Lörrach (RVL). In the direction of Basel and thus also in the direction of Switzerland, there are transitional tariffs for the Northwestern Switzerland Tariff Association (TNW).

passenger traffic
