# Stansstad railway station

Stansstad railway station is a Swiss railway station in the municipality of Stansstad in the canton of Nidwalden. It is on the Luzern–Stans–Engelberg line, owned by the Zentralbahn railway company, and is adjacent to the bridge that carries the line across the Alpnachersee arm of Lake Lucerne and into the Lopper II tunnel.

The current railway station is the second to exist in Stansstad, having been built as a through station on the section of line opened in 1964 to connect the then Stansstad–Engelberg line to the Brünig line at Hergiswil. The original Stansstad station was a terminus, located on the lake side some 500 m (1,600 ft) to the north of the current station. The original station building still exists, now devoid of rails but still used by lake shipping. The old and new routes converge on the Stans side of Stansstad, but little trace is left of the old route.
