The Rhine Falls are excellently connected to the Swiss railway network. There are two stations directly at the waterfall:South bank (Schloss Laufen): Use the S-Bahn line S33 (from Winterthur/Zurich or Schaffhausen) to the Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall station. From there, a short walk or a glass panoramic elevator leads directly to the castle and the platforms.
