Location

The station is located on the Eglisau to Neuhausen line of the Swiss Federal Railways (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. [4] [5] [6]

Neuhausen Rheinfall station is one of three stations in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, the other two being Neuhausen, which is the next station in the direction of Schaffhausen on the same line, and Neuhausen Badischer Bahnhof, which is on a different line (High Rhine Railway line). [7] Neuhausen Badischer Bahnhof lies about 500 metres (1,600 ft) to the north-west, whilst Neuhausen station is 750 metres (2,460 ft) to the north-east.

Neuhausen Rheinfall station is also one of two stations intended to serve the Rhine Falls, the other being Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall on the opposite bank of the river (next to the Laufen Castle). [4]
