The opening of the Vorarlberg Railway (Lindau – Bludenz, Lauterach – St. Margrethen and Feldkirch – Buchs) on July 1 1872 marked the beginning of the railway era in Vorarlberg.
To improve the economic efficiency of the Vorarlberg Railway, a direct connection with the railway network of the monarchy was indispensable. Thus the Vorarlberg Railway was practically the first realised train connection project with the other railways in Austria. It was opened together with the Arlbergbahn in 1884.
