Tips from the Community
We expected this to be a covered wooden bridge and were looking forward to sheltering from the rain in it, but alas, this modern wooden bridge does NOT provide cover from rain.

Landquart Station since July 1, 1858 Landquart Station is a connecting station in the Swiss canton of Graubünden on the SBB Sargans–Chur line and the narrow-gauge lines of the Rhaetian Railway to Davos and Chur(–Thusis). It is now located in the municipality of Landquart. Landquart Station opened on July 1, 1858, as part of the Chur–Rheineck line. It experienced a change of ownership during the construction of the line, as the Südostbahn, which had begun construction of the line, became the property of the United Swiss Railways (VSB) on May 1, 1858. At that time, the station was located almost in an open field, at the northwestern end of the municipality of Igis, but far outside the main settlement of Igis and significantly closer to the center of St. Antoni (Mastrils), at the mouth of the Landquart River, a few hundred meters south of the old Rohan ski jump. Only gradually did a few factories settle nearby, exploiting the river's hydropower. Since 1859, with the opening of the Sargans–Rapperswil–Rüti (ZH) line, trains to Zurich were possible, although they had to take a detour through the Glatt Valley and negotiate a hairpin bend in Rapperswil. In 1875, the Left Bank Lake Zurich Railway (Laufufrige Zürichseebahn) began operation, making direct trains to Zurich possible. The station became a transfer station in 1889, when the Landquart–Davos AG (LD) narrow-gauge railway opened its line to Davos. This company became the Rhaetian Railway in 1895, and Landquart station remains the starting point for the kilometering of all lines in the company's so-called main network. Because it was a narrow-gauge railway, freight had to be reloaded and trains had to be changed in Landquart. At the same time, a workshop was built here at the starting point of the LD, which later became the main workshop of the Rhaetian Railway. Chur has also been accessible by narrow-gauge railway since 1896. At the beginning of the last century, a narrow-gauge railway project was developed between Schaan and Landquart. Since 1902, the station has belonged to the Swiss Federal Railways. It developed into an important freight hub, where freight is transshipped between the RhB and SBB.
