Delémont railway station (French: Gare de Delémont) serves the municipality of Delémont, the capital city of the Canton of Jura, Switzerland. Opened in 1875, the station is owned and operated by Swiss Federal Railways. It forms part of the Jura railway (Basel SBB–Biel/Bienne), and is also the junction for the Delémont–Delle railway, a cross-border link with France.[1]
The Delémont roundhouse, located within the station yard, is listed as a Swiss heritage site of national significance (class A).[5]
History
The station was opened on 23 September 1875, together with the rest of the Basel–Delémont section of the Jura railway. Just over a year later, on 15 October 1876, the station became a junction, when the Delémont–Glovelier section of the Delémont–Delle railway was opened. During World War II, the railway station was accidentally bombed on 8 September 1944 by the Allies, injuring a number of railway employees.[6]
