Overview
Schaan-Vaduz is situated on the international and electrified Feldkirch-Buchs line,[1] between the station of Buchs SG (in Switzerland) and the stop of Forst Hilti (in the northern suburb of Schaan). It is served only by regional trains.
Located in the middle of town, the station is composed of a two-storey building, a wooden shed and a platform serving the first track. The second track has no platform and is rarely used.[2] Located on the platform is the remnants of a rail line, part of a dismantled track system used by freight wagons.[3]

gollark: If doing nothing creates more evil than some sort of complex evil-creation system, then a good evil maximizer would decide to switch to doing nothing, if it was made aware of this.
gollark: Probably less bad stuff, though, than an organization which is actively trying to do bad stuff and is somewhat good at it.
