The Feldkirch–Buchs railway is an electrified single track railway line that links Austria and Switzerland passing through Liechtenstein. Owned by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), 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 (EuroCity, InterCity, and Railjets) that haven't stops 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 the surrounding ones) and to increase the rail traffic. The project, named "S-Bahn FL.A.CH", should be realized in 2015 and will cost an estimated €50 million.
