History
Otelfingen used to be a junction station with the former Niederglatt-Otelfingen railway line, which once connected with Niederglatt station on the Bülach branch of the Bülach-Regensberg Railway, but was closed to through trains in 1937. However, a short stretch of the line has been retained as a siding, and joins the main line just to the east of the station.[8]
