}} |map_name = Route diagram |map_state = expanded }} The Sihltal railway line ((ドイツ語:Sihltalbahn)) is a railway line in the Swiss canton of Zürich, which connects the city of Zürich with the communities of the Sihl Valley. Passenger service on the line now forms part of the Zürich S-Bahn, branded as that networks service S4, and the standard Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (ZVV) zonal fare tariffs apply to the line.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Partners within the ZVV )〕 The line was opened in 1892 and electrified in 1924. Today it is owned by the Sihltal Zürich Uetliberg Bahn, a company that also owns the Uetliberg line, and operates other transport services. == History == The Sihltal line was built by the ''Sihltalbahn'' company (SITB), which opened a line from Bahnhof Selnau to Sihlwald in 1892. Bahnhof Selnau was already in existence as the terminus of the Uetliberg line, and the two lines ran in parallel as far as Giesshübel station. Later in the same year, a freight branch was constructed linking Giesshübel station with Wiedikon station on the Lake Zürich left bank line of the Swiss Northeastern Railway (NOB).〔 In 1897 the Sihltal line was extended to Sihlbrugg and a connection with the Zürich to Lucerne line of the NOB. In 1924 the line was electrified using alternating current. In 1932 the management of the Sihltal line took over the management of the Uetliberg line, but the two companies remained in existence until 1973, when they were merged to form the SZU.〔 In 1990, the two lines were extended from their previous joint terminus at Bahnhof Selnau to a terminus at Zürich Hbf station. This extension involved the construction of a new rail tunnel from Selnau to Hbf, and a new underground intermediate station adjacent to the former terminus. The underground platform and tracks used at Hbf were already in existence, having been built prior to 1973 for a U-Bahn scheme that was ultimately rejected by voters. Once the new extension had been opened, the former terminus at Selnau was redeveloped and little evidence of it is now visible.〔 In 2006, the line was upgraded to allow a service every 10 minutes during peak periods. At the same time passenger services were withdrawn between Sihlwald and Sihlbrugg, although the track still exists and is used by occasional trains.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sihltal railway line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
