Arth-Goldau Railway Station
Arth-Goldau railway station (German: Bahnhof Arth-Goldau) is a railway station in the Swiss canton of Schwyz and municipality of Arth. The station is located in the centre of the village of Goldau, which forms part of Arth.
The station is an important junction, where the Zug–Arth-Goldau line joins the main line of the Gotthard line, and also where the Südostbahn-owned Pfäffikon–Arth-Goldau line diverges.
Layout
Arth-Goldau is a keilbahnhof: a station located between two converging railway lines. The north-south Zug–Arth-Goldau line joins the main line of the east-west Gotthard line. Both lines have two platforms serving three tracks. Additionally, the Arth–Rigi line terminates in its own platforms above and at right angles to the Gotthard platforms.
