Neuhausen Rheinfall is a railway station in the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen and municipality of Neuhausen am Rheinfall. The station is located on the Eglisau to Neuhausen line of the Swiss Federal Railway (SBB) that crosses the international border twice on its route between the Swiss cantons of Zürich and Schaffhausen. The station is operated by the SBB and is an intermediate stop on the Zürich S-Bahn line S9 between Zürich and Schaffhausen, and the Schaffhausen S-Bahn line S22 between Jestetten and Singen. Both lines operate hourly for most of the day, combining to provide a half-hourly service to and from Schaffhausen.[1][2][3]

The station opened on 13 December 2015, principally to serve the tourist attraction of the Rhine Falls, from which it takes its name. It is linked by a combination of bridges and lifts to the bank of the Rhine just below the falls.[4]

Neuhausen Rheinfall station is one of three stations in Neuhausen, the other two being Neuhausen Bad and Neuhausen. Neuhausen Bad station lies about 500 metres (1,600 ft) to the north-west, whilst Neuhausen station is 750 metres (2,460 ft) to the north-east. It is also one of two stations intended to serve the Rhine Falls, the other being Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall station on the opposite bank of the river.[1]
