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.[1][7][8]

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.[1][7]

Layout

[edit]

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.[9][10]
