St. Gallen railway station

St. Gallen railway station (German: Bahnhof St. Gallen) is the main railway station of the city of St. Gallen, the capital of the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland. It is located at the junction of the standard gauge St. Gallen–Winterthur and Rorschach–St. Gallen lines of Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS), the standard gauge Romanshorn–Toggenburg line of Südostbahn (SOB), and the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge Appenzell–St. Gallen–Trogen line of Appenzell Railways (Appenzeller Bahnen, AB).

Opened in 1856 and completely rebuilt at the outset of the 20th century and refurbished between 2016–2018, the station is owned and operated by Swiss Federal Railways. It is served by both national and international long-distance trains, and is the focal point of the St. Gallen S-Bahn regional train network (it is also included in the Bodensee S-Bahn). The station also serves as a central station to the Appenzell Railways and has many city and urban bus connections in front of the main building.

Besides main station, there are 12 other railway stations in the city of St. Gallen (corresponding to zone 210 of the Ostwind tariff network), which are served only by local trains: Birnbäumen, Bruggen, Güterbahnhof, Haggen, Marktplatz, Notkersegg, Riethüsli, Schülerhaus, Schwarzer Bären, Spisertor, St. Fiden and Winkeln.
