The original route of the railway was through the centre of Bassersdorf. But with the construction of a new railway to serve Zürich Airport in 1980, this route was abandoned along with the original Bassersdorf railway station. A new station was constructed on the new line, some 500 m (1,600 ft) to the south of the original station.[4]
