Feldkirch–Buchs railway


The Feldkirch–Buchs railway is a electrified single track railway line that links Austria and Switzerland passing through Liechtenstein. Owned by the Austrian Federal Railways, it represents the only railway line of Liechtenstein.

History

The line opened in 1872, during the opening period of the Vorarlberg Railway, and was electrified in 1926. It is served by some pairs of regional trains and buses and by some international trains that are non-stop between Feldkirch and Buchs.
In June 2008 the Canton of St. Gallen, the Federal State of Vorarlberg, and the Principality of Liechtenstein signed an agreement for a project to upgrade the line and to increase the rail traffic. The project, named S-Bahn Liechtenstein, was approved in April 2020 and should be fully realised by 2027 and will cost an estimated €185 million.
