Meiringen is a railway station, in the town of Meiringen in the Swiss canton of Bern, and at the junction of two railway lines. The Brünig line of the Zentralbahn is an inter-regional metre gauge railway that links Interlaken and Lucerne, whilst the Meiringen–Innertkirchen railway (MIB) is a local railway that links to Innertkirchen and the Aare Gorge.The station is served by passenger trains of both operators, and also provides an interchange with the local bus network provided by PostBus Switzerland. One such route connects to the Reichenbach Funicular, which links the town to the Reichenbach Falls. Another route provides a service to Grindelwald over the Grosse Scheidegg Pass, using a road closed to most other traffic.HistoryThe station was opened in 1888 by the Jura–Bern–Lucerne Railway, along with the rest of the central section of the Brünig line between Brienz and Alpnachstad stations. Initially onward journeys to Interlaken and Lucerne were accomplished by boat and the through rail route was not completed until 1916. Trains on the Brünig line were hauled by steam locomotives until the early 1940s, when the line was electrified. Ownership of the station was transferred to the Swiss Federal Railway in 1903, and to the Zentralbahn in 2004.
