Bühler railway station

Bühler railway station (German: Bahnhof Bühler) is a railway station in the municipality of Bühler, in the Swiss canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden. It is located on the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge Appenzell–St. Gallen–Trogen line of Appenzell Railways, and is served by local trains only.

History
A railway was demanded by Bühler industrialists and plans were made in the 1870s to extend the railway through Bühler to St Gallen. However, the station needed to be located above the village to maintain a regular gradient of the line. This proved impractical for local industry so the project was abandoned in 1877.

With improvements to railway technology, the project was revived in 1882 and the station was completed in 1889.
