The Weil am Rhein train station is a small railway junction in southern Baden , on the border between Germany and Switzerland . It is the most important of the five train stations in Weil am Rhein . This is where the Weil am Rhein – Lörrach S-Bahn , known as the Garden Railway , branches off from the Mannheim – Karlsruhe – Freiburg – Basel ( Rhine Valley Railway ) main line. From 1878 to 1937, a branch line also led to Saint-Louis in France .
history
With the opening of the section Haltingen - Basel via Weil am Rhein in 1855, the Rheintalbahn Mannheim - Karlsruhe - Freiburg - Basel was officially completed. This is how the history of the hamlet train station began.
On 20 May 1890, the garden railway Weil am Rhein was-Lörrach through the Baden State Railways as a strategic path to bypass the Switzerland officially opened. As early as February 11, 1878, a railway line was opened between Weil am Rhein and St. Ludwig , with which Alsace , which was conquered in the Franco-Prussian War , was also connected to the Reich in terms of traffic in the far south.
The Basel-Weil marshalling yard was built in 1913 .
In 1952, the Rhine Valley Railway section Basel Badischer Bahnhof - Weil am Rhein - Efringen-Kirchen and the line to Lörrach were electrified .
For the regular timetable change 2004/2005 on December 12, 2004, the garden railway was included in the network of the trinational S-Bahn Basel as S-Bahn line S5 . SBB GmbH , the German passenger transport subsidiary of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), has been operating there as a railway company since June 15, 2003 .
Since the timetable change on December 14, 2014, the Basel tram line 8 has been running from its previous terminus in Kleinhüningen through Friedlingen to the Weil am Rhein train station ( Weil am Rhein train station / center ).
The now disused marshalling yard , located next to the passenger station as part of the Badischer Bahnhof in Basel , has meanwhile been converted into a container transshipment station.
