Combe-Tabeillon station. The left track leads to Saignelégier, the right to Glovelier.

The Combe-Tabeillon train station is a narrow-gauge hairpin in Switzerland . It is located in the municipality of Haute-Sorne in the canton of Jura , on the Saignelégier – Glovelier railway line on the Chemins de fer du Jura (cj).

Until 1944, the Régional Saignelégier – Glovelier (RSG) still operated the station in standard gauge . When the RSG went over to the cj, it adapted the gauge to the rest of the meter- gauge network . The line was electrified in 1954. The switches in the station are still set by hand by the train driver . Since there are no crossings and thanks to shuttle trains that the locomotive does not have to bypass, the one switch is not a problem. From the direction of Glovelier and Saignelégier , the tracks come together about 50 m in front of the station to form a double track section, followed by a double track change point with crossing. The other end is a switch followed by a 100 m long single- track stump track .
