Chêne-Bourg railway station (French: Gare de Chêne-Bourg) is a railway station in the municipality of Chêne-Bourg, in the Swiss canton of Geneva. It is an intermediate stop on the standard gauge CEVA orbital railway line of Swiss Federal Railways.[1]
History
[edit]The original station opened on 27 May 1888, on the Annemasse-Genève-Eaux-Vives line between Genève-Eaux-Vives and Annemasse.[5] The station closed in 1987 in favor of the newly opened station at Ambilly; this was done so that customs control could be centralized at Genève-Eaux-Vives. The station building was preserved, and re-opened from 2011–2013 to handle TER services after construction on the new CEVA orbital railway line led to the closure of Genève-Eaux-Vives.[6]
As part of the CEVA project, a new underground station was built at Chêne-Bourg; the original station building was moved about 40 metres (130 ft) but remains standing. The new station opened on 15 December 2019.
