Neuhausen Rheinfall is a railway station in the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen and municipality of Neuhausen am Rheinfall. The station is located on the Eglisau to Neuhausen line of the Swiss Federal Railway (SBB) that crosses the international border twice on its route between the Swiss cantons of Zürich and Schaffhausen. The station is operated by the SBB and is an intermediate stop on the Zürich S-Bahn line S9 between Zürich and Schaffhausen, and the Schaffhausen S-Bahn between Jestetten and Schaffhausen. Both lines operate hourly for most of the day, combining to provide a half-hourly service to and from Schaffhausen.[1][2][3]
The station opened on 13 December 2015, principally to serve the tourist attraction of the Rhine Falls, from which it takes its name. It is linked by a combination of bridges and lifts to the bank of the Rhine just below the falls.[4]
