Chur railway station serves the city of Chur, capital of the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. Opened in 1858, it is the most important railway junction in Graubünden. The station is the terminus of the Swiss Federal Railways standard gauge main line from Zürich to Chur, and is also one of the most important stations on the Rhaetian Railway metre gauge network. SBB Intercity, Regio Express and Regional services stop at the station, alongside Rhaetian Railway Regio Express and Regional services. There are SBB trains to Landquart, and then stations to Zürich and Rhaetian Railway services to many destinations in Graubünden. The Glacier Express also calls and reverses at Chur. Planning for a station at Chur began in 1850. After heated debate, the station was built at its present site, just outside the city limits. At that time, the station was designed to be a terminus of the Rheineck-Chur railway. It was opened on 30 June 1858.
