Radical changes to the local railway geography in conjunction with the opening of the Zürich S-Bahn system led to the closure of the station in 1989, but the station building still exists, and the trackbed and viaducts are used as a pedestrian path/cycling route.
The former railway station is adjacent to the Letten Power Station on the Limmat.
