Rhaetian Railway is currently in a far-reaching modernisation phase and has invested heavily in the renewal of its vehicle fleet and infrastructure facilities in recent years. The new rolling stock consists increasingly of railcars and articulated trains, which are no longer separated during maintenance, which is why the existing workshops have to be adapted to the new rolling stock. The changes affect not only the workshops themselves, but also large areas in and around Landquart station.
The major project “Renovation and conversion of Landquart Station” consists of various interrelated sub-projects, which are being carried out in stages. The first construction work began in May 2018. An investment volume of more than CHF 700 million has been estimated for this major project.
