Zürich Letten railway station

The Zurich Letten railway station is a disused railway station in the district of Zurich Wipkingen, shielded from the Limmat only by the same power company. The station complex Latvians was commissioned in 1894.

Earlier, the three-track station was on the train between Zurich and Rapperswil - miles and was last serviced with dark red ( RABDe 12/12, Mirage ) and purple- yellow ( RABDe 8/16, Chiquita ) trains.

With the construction of the underground connection from Zurich Stadelhofen to Zurich Hauptbahnhof ( Hirsch grave tunnels) the train station, which was located on a loop between Stadelhofen and central station, redundant and on 27 May 1989, decommissioned.

The truss bridge over the Limmat and the subsequent viaduct, which nestles at low altitude to the Aussersihler Viaduct, is today used as a foot - and Velowegverbindung over the Limmat and to Josefwiese in the industrial district. The Latvians tunnel to Stadelhofen was filled between October 2002 and early 2004 because of the danger of collapse, the western portal is still visible.

The SBB had the distance to the backfilling of the tunnel Latvians hold passable ( drainage in the disused tunnel had to be flushed every three months ). The barely driven section was taken in the spring of 1992 from those sold off Spitz drug addicts and dealers for approximately three years in fitting and known as " drug hell Latvians ." From April 1995, five points and 300 m track were removed, ie the station plant reduced to a drive-through and designed the track of the free- holding zone added various new area of the city of Zurich. After backfilling of the tunnel and the remaining track was removed.
