The Basel – Aesch railway is a meter-gauge , electrified railway line in Switzerland that connects to the Basel tram network. The 7.7 km long branch line was opened in 1907, branches in Ruchfeld from 1902 opened railway line Basel-Dornach , and was one of the first independent company tram Basel-Aesch (TBA). Since January 1, 1974, the successor company Baselland Transport AG (BLT) has been responsible for the route infrastructure. The Basler Strassenbahnen (BStB) were initially responsible for the operation - they have been called Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe since 1946 - the narrow-gauge railway has been operated by the BLT itself since 1994 . The route to Aesch was assigned route number 11 in 1974 when the TBA was dissolved . The trains to Aesch traditionally ran from Aeschenplatz, before line 11 was then extended in 1994 as part of the takeover by the BLT to the St-Louis border. It is supplemented by the amplifier line E11 to Reinach Süd.
