History edit

The Régional Porrentruy–Bonfol [fr] (RPB) opened the line between Porrentruy and Bonfol on 14 July 1901.[2] On 1 November 1910, the line was extended 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) to what was then the German border near Pfetterhouse and a junction with the Dannemarie–Pfetterhouse railway line [de].[3]

The RPB was one of four companies that merged on 1 January 1944 to form the Chemins de fer du Jura, which has owned and operated the line ever since.[4] Cross-border passenger service north of Bonfol ended on 14 February 1946; the line north of Bonfol was abandoned altogether on 4 January 1970.[3] The line from Porrentruy to Bonfol was electrified on 18 May 1952.[5]

Chemins de fer du Jura undertook a rehabilitation of the line between 2020 and 2022, including new platforms at all three stations and a rebuilding of the bridge over the Allaine.[6][7]

Service edit

As of the December 2021 timetable change, Chemins de fer du Jura operates hourly passenger service over the route, with additional trains during peak-hours on weekdays. Trains are scheduled to connect with further services to and from Delémont and Glovelier.[8]
