Rümlingen, BL, Switzerland - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

EN: The railway viaduct crosses the valley to Häfelfingen right next to the village center of Rümlingen.

The railway station of Rümlingen is located at the northeast edge of town, just before the railway viaduct across the valley.

Rümlingen is a station on the Hauenstein-summit line, which is considered the first mountain railway line in Switzerland. It was one of the major rail links between Northwest Switzerland and the central midlands from 1856 until the construction of the shorter and less steep Hauenstein base line in 1916. Since then, the route is only a regional branch line, in 1938, it was reverted to single track. Today there are hourly regional trains, and plans for tourist trains with steam locomotives are discussed.

DE: Der Bahnhof von Rümlingen befindet sich am Nordostrand des Dorfes, gleich vor dem Eisenbahnviadukt.

Rümlingen liegt an der Hauenstein-Scheitellinie, die als erste Gebirgsstrecke der Schweiz gilt. Sie war von 1856 bis zum Bau der kürzeren und weniger steilen Hauenstein-Basislinie 1916 eine der wichtigsten Zugverbindungen zwischen der Nordwestschweiz und dem Mittelland. Seither ist die Strecke nur noch eine regionale Nebenlinie, 1938 wurde sie auf Einspurbetrieb zurückgebaut. Heute verkehren auf der Strecke stündlich Regionalzüge und es gibt Pläne für touristische Züge mit Dampflokomotiven.
