Both municipalities are situated in the Furttal region in the canton of Zürich. The station is located on the Wettingen-Effretikon railway line (Furttal line).[2][3]

Former Buchs ZH railway station

Bülach-Baden railway line
Station building of former Buchs ZH railway station (2016) on the closed Bülach-Baden line

Buchs used to have a second railway station on the Bülach-Baden railway line (Bülach-Baden-Bahn), which connected the Furttal line near Otelfingen with the Oerlikon-Bülach line in Niederglatt. Since the 1920s, the Swiss Federal Railways had plans to close this line. After 1934, the station building was unattended.The last passenger train called at this station on 17 January 1937.[8]

The former station building in the upper part of the village remained, but the tracks have been mostly removed in 1969. A few tracks of the Bülach-Baden line remain between Otelfingen and Otelfingen Golfpark stations, and between Niederglatt and an industrial area south of Oberhasli. The tracks are used by the adjacent industry.[8]
