It is inscribed on the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property of National Significance. History The first Enge station opened in 1875 with the opening of the Lake Zürich left bank line. The line's original routing through the area differed from the current alignment and was largely at street level, with many level crossings. The first station was located about to the south-east of the current station, close the site of the crossing of Alfred-Escher-Strasse and General-Wille-Strasse.

Thalwil–Arth-Goldau Railway
The Thalwil–Arth-Goldau railway is a Swiss railway that acts as a feeder route to the Gotthard Railway (''Gotthardbahn'', GB). It was opened for this purpose on 1 June 1897, with the Thalwil railway station, Thalwil–Zug railway station, Zug section owned by the Swiss Northeastern Railway (''Schweizerische Nordostbahn'', NOB) and the Zug–Arth-Goldau railway station, Arth-Goldau section owned by the GB. Since the nationalisation of the GB in 1909, the entire route has belonged to the Swiss Federal Railways (''Schweizerische Bundesbahnen'', SBB). The route is still partially single-track and therefore highly-subject to delays. In addition there is a danger of natural hazards, especially on the Zug–Arth-Goldau section, which as a result often has to be closed for several days. Route The line begins in Thalwil, where it branches off from the Lake Zurich left bank railway line, Lake Zurich left bank line (''Linksufrige Zürichseebahn''). The double-track section has run ste ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
