EN: The railway station of Wyhlen was built in 1856, but the current station building is from the late 20th century. It was part of Badische Hauptbahn from Mannheim to Konstanz, this Upper part of the line east of Basel is also known as Hochrheinstrecke.

Since Wyhlen has merged with neighboring Grenzach to the town of Grenzach-Wyhlen in 1975, the municipality has two railway stations, but the official name of this one is still Wyhlen, sometimes you see "Grenzach-Wyhlen, Wyhlen" in timetables.

The station is mainly used by commuters to the Basel area. There are two trains per hour to Basel or Waldshut.

DE: Der Bahnhof von Wyhlen wurde ursprünglich 1856 gebaut, aber das heutige Stationsgebäude stammt aus dem späten 20. Jahrhundert. Es war Teil der Badischen Hauptbahn von Mannheim nach Konstanz, dieser obere Teil der Linie östlich von Basel ist auch als Hochrheinstrecke bekannt.

Seit sich Wyhlen 1975 mit dem benachbarten Grenzach zur Stadt Grenzach-Wyhlen verbunden hat, hat die Gemeinde zwei Bahnhöfe, aber der offizielle Name ist noch Wyhlen, aber manchmal findet man auch "Grenzach-Wyhlen, Wyhlen" in Fahrplänen.

Der Bahnhof wird überwiegend von Pendlern nach Basel benutzt. Es gibt zwei Züge pro Stunde nach Basel oder Waldshut.
